Color Panel System
New York City

The color panel system was originally developed for the Lincoln Towers Study. In the closed position, panels form a regular rectangular solid. The first, outer layer of enclosure uses hinges, thus the differentiation of inside and outside become critical. Much in the way the inner lining of a man’s suit can have radically different material, color and sheen, the outer panels are both opposed and formally mirrored. The diagonal cut breaks the generic or standard understanding of leaf.
