Motion
It’s 9 o’clock, Lower East Side awakes. On her way to work, Jane shares a smile with a merchant. She notices a tenant unpinning his clothes on his balcony, while the museum vibrate at the rhythm of the first visitors. At the corner of Essex and Delancey Street, the daily life sets in motion. By capturing ordinary events in his Silver factory and repeating Campbell’s soup, Andy Warhol stated the importance of these commonplaces pictures. Inspired by the artist, Motion turns the daily life into art.
Motion takes advantage of the site’s position between two completely different city fabrics to break the existing edge. Fragmenting the urban block, the project allows the everyday passageway. The main axis connects the local shops with a human scale path bordered by the Warhol museum and the Essex Street market. The other axis, positioned along Norfolk Street, act like a greenway between the high-rise neighborhood and the neverending motion of Delancey Street. Eroded by these daily crossings and the sun’s path, the volumes let the sunshine light up the public spaces and the variety of living environments that Motion offers.
Programme
Positioned as a landmark from the Williamsburg Bridge, Warhol museum crosses the site with its aerial CLT structure that frees up a covered passage. A dramatic diagonal plane sinks in the ground, holding the auditorium below and a monumental staircase used as a projection space. The façade exposes the motion of the visitors in several ramps that create a rich experiential itinerary. Recalling the Silver Factory, the museum is composed of silvery weathered cedar CLT floors and reflective glass that reflects the surrounding. By transposing the ordinary motions out of context, the intrigued passerby ends up thinking: can the daily life be art itself?

Ambiances
The museum extends its artistic experiences with a connection to the Low Line and a generous public space where projections and performances take place. Protected from cold winter wind, the public place benefits of a microclimate and a connection with the lively terraces of the street market. With its glulam and CLT structure, Essex Street Market can be fully opened to the active streets during the warm season.
Structured by vertical CLT panels, the social housing offers ideal bioclimatic orientation that allows natural ventilation and passive heating. The diversity of apartment on one or two levels animates the facade with the motion of balconies and outdoor corridors, which are used to shades when cooling is needed. These passive design strategies seek Motion to Net Zero building. Common courtyards are offer to the tenants, a private park on Broome wing that holds in a rain garden and a community garden that reduces heat island effect on the rooftop of the market.
Throughout its axes, Motion exposes itself through a 360 degrees view, characterized by a diversity of paths and experiences. Everything seems to converge to a focal point of the site where various living environments of the project, and the neighborhood, reveal themselves, reunited by motion.
