Holl won the Milstein competition first in 2001… his scheme would have demolished one of the campus buildings and built tall. Koolhaas came in and built the project square and short.

Milstein signage. Take a traditional material like marble, engrave it not with words but a barcode of striations using a CNC mill to appear like letters from afar. Koolhaas.

Think of the ground floor as a landscape where activities can happen. Like a grassy hill people sit on to watch a performance at the park, a cave to gather in. Now cast the land in concrete. Koolhaas Milstein ground floor foam studies.
