The KPF Senior Associate Principal spoke about the recently completed project in a session titled “Adaptive Reuse Transformations: Train Stations, Towers, and Hockey Arenas” organized by Architectural Record.
Driven by both economic and environmental considerations, adaptive reuse projects have been growing in popularity across the United States and have made up a majority of architects’ billings in recent years, according to research from the AIA. Andrew’s work on One Madison Avenue in New York City was recently featured in Architectural Record, which lauded the project as an adaptive reuse “success story.” The project navigated a multitude of complex constraints to preserve and modernize an out-of-date office building while adding density in the form of a new glass tower that rises gracefully above the existing podium.
Andrew presented alongside additional case studies by Frano Violich of Kennedy & Violich Architecture and Angela Wryembelski of Quinn Evans. The speakers discussed their respective methodologies and highlighted specific examples, including Michigan Central Station in Detroit and the Honnen Arts Club in Colorado Springs, and the economic contexts that shaped each project.
