PROJECT DETAILS

Mills, Petticord & Mills: Gelman Library, George Washington University, 1971C–1973

  • Washington DC, USA, Show on map
  • #EDU #North America
  • The façade of this massive cube is characterised by projecting vertical slabs, which give the façade an existing depth and create beautiful shadow plays. Compared to the large closed surfaces, the punctuated façades offer an interesting contrast.

  • An entrance renovation in 2011–2013 moved the entrance to 2nd floor and to face Kogan Plaza with a glass canopy and staircase/ramp. Special thanks to Phillip Troutman.
