Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice
Pixelated Architecture: A Modern Classic - The Ford Foundation ๐ฟ ๐ณKevin Roche pioneered the first green atrium at the Ford Foundation (though it wasn't the first time trees were incorporated into a building in Manhattan). The greenery in the atrium brings a natural vibe to the building, making it feel like you're working in a park. ๐ณ To achieve better lighting, the atrium features a skylight at the top, and the bottom five floors showcase the setback style common in modernism at the time. ๐ณ In 2018, Gensler completed the renovation of the foundation, enhancing the landscape and lighting effects. ๐ #DoYouLikeBuildingsIntegratedWithNatureThroughAtriums [Poll]#Architecture ๐๏ธ #GreenArchitecture ๐ฟ #ArchitecturalMasters ๐
