Winning Design Team Announcement: 1014's Architecture and History Exhibition in October

1014 is excited to announce that Studio Aorta has been chosen as the design team for 1014’s architecture and history exhibition in October. Studio Aorta and 1014 have begun working on the exhibition, which will present the winning architectural design plans by David Chipperfield / KARO Architects / Paratus Group, along with several runners-up, from a design competition for the renovation of 1014 Fifth Ave. The exhibition will also focus on the history of the building and neighborhood, and the future of 1014’s programming.

The Call for Proposals asked designers to create a design plan that would highlight the urban context and history of the Upper East Side neighborhood, the legacy of cultural exchange at 1014 Fifth Ave., and the architectural history and future of the building. Designers were asked to demonstrate the following in their proposals:

• a creative use of the material and space to display media within the 1014 building

• a functional design that maintains space for the program events to take place

• an engaging/interesting/original concept that highlights the exhibition materials well

Studio Aorta’s innovative design concept incorporated all the above and more: with elements of their proposed exhibition design reflecting the spatial interior of 1014 Fifth Ave., their suggested use of sustainable and/or reusable materials, and their detailed plan for the project, they won over the jury.

Check 1014’s website or follow us on social media to learn more about the exhibition in October.

Congratulations to Studio Aorta, and a huge thank you to all who submitted proposals!
