MSD-AAD UPS HUB, West SOHO New York City
This studio speculates that a new typology can help sustain New York City’s financial global leadership in the world. New York cannot solely rely on import and export economies with the uncertainty of political pressures that affect the prices of goods and services. New York and other cities need to re-invent existing networks to be able to compete with trade barriers that are cumbersome and willfully destroying the growth of the economy.
The site is on the corner of Washington Street and Houston Street in West SoHo. We are designing a project with three programs, a distribution network that houses trucks, UPS offices and a prototyping space that can turn around working prototypes fast. developing a new hybrid typology for UPS and New York City. The existing UPS hub is uniquely equipped to speculate on the future of the network Hub into a precise and novel architecture and urban proposal that are unprecedented that links local efficiency with global demands.
