The Municipal Art Society is a nonprofit organization in New York City that encourages thoughtful planning and urban design. The architect designed a building where a gradual change of privacy is clearly stated: from the public half-underground café to the office on the fourth floor. Among all the programs, the civic forum is the most important, which is completely exposed to the neighborhood and designed in a truly welcoming gesture geometrically and spatially to encourage all citizens to interact and participate for the great cause of preserving the rich history and culture of the city.
