Büro NY is a New York-based architecture and design practice that focuses on innovative design ideas – developing, implementing and building immersive spatial concepts. Their design methodology explores the interplay between algorithmic form generation, programmatic design research and material fabrication. The analytical understanding of these systems is offset by an atmosphere-driven focus on experiential spatial qualities and geometric elegance. For the award-winning World Trade Center Memorial design, natural cell formation became a guiding concept. (1st runner-up of 5,200 design entries in competition: Baurmann Brooks Coersmeier) The interweaving of public urban space, nature and synthesized natural systems and their potential virtual subtexts have been at the heart of many Büro NY projects
