Poets House Soho

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Our renovation of Poets House, a library and learning institution for all voices of poetry, enlarged the scale at which this non-profit organization operated. The unusual design element which was dear to the hearts of the organization, was the use of poetic text written into the architecture. Poetry took on a spatial quality in that fragments of poems are inscribed on the walls… hidden in secret corners and embedded in the metaphor of 1000 origami cranes in the children’s poetry room
