The concept of developing an architectural narrative was taught through multiple mediums and forms of technology. An existing NYC landmark, in this case the Pan Am or Metlife Building, was used as a reference for any manipulations that were introduced.

The first half of the semester was dedicated to the use of photography, REVIT and Photoshop to create a story unique the building.

The second half targeted a portion of the building. This was manipulated through parametric methods and enhance by light animation.
