Text description provided by the architects. The New 42 Studio Building is a completely modern eleven-story creative “factory” for the performing arts designed for The New 42 Inc., the non-profit developer of the historic theaters of the 42nd Street Development Project. Mid-block on the north side of 42nd Street between Times Square and Eighth Avenue, the 84,000 square foot new building contains 12 rehearsal studios, 2 combined studio and reception halls, a 199 seat “black box” experimental theater – known as “The Duke on 42nd Street”– and related administrative offices, dressing and locker rooms, storage and other support space for dance companies and other non-profit performing arts groups. At the ground level the Studios incorporate retail space and the 42nd Street access to the lobby of the American Airlines Theater on 43rd Street, formerly known as the Selwyn.

除了42街重建项目所要求的传统照明标志外，工作室大楼的立面是由金属和玻璃拼贴而成，底部有遮阳的二色玻璃、175英尺高的高科技垂直光管和一系列穿孔金属刀片，显示了从可编程戏剧固定装置中投射出来的无限可变的彩色光线。在刀片的背后，透明的玻璃建筑增加了动画的灯光工作室和舞蹈演员的实际行动，在工作和在驳船。在里面，拼贴的精神弥漫在建筑物的创造性，丰富多彩的标志和图形。从周围的喧嚣的商业主义中脱颖而出，工作室的感官和吸引人的抽象强烈而恰当地宣布了42街表演艺术家在创作边缘活动的主要工作场所。与此同时，工作室的创意设计首次探索并展示了对与历史时代广场相关的“俗气”照明的诠释所固有的一些创造性可能性，并证明时代广场的“特色”值得公众做出巨大努力来维护的观点是正确的。

In place of the conventional illuminated signage called for by the 42nd Street redevelopment project, the Studio Building’s façade is a collage of metal and glass, with sun-catching dichroic glass at the base, a 175 foot high-tech vertical LightPipe and an array of perforated metal blades presenting an infinitely variable display of colored light projected from ranks of programmable theatrical fixtures. Behind the blades, the transparent glass of the building adds the animation of the lights of the studios and the actual movements of the dancers at work and at the barres. Inside, the spirit of the collage pervades the building in inventive, colorful signage and graphics. Standing out from the hokey commercialism of its surroundings, the sensuous and engaging abstraction of the Studios strongly and appropriately announces 42nd Street’s principal working venue for performing artists operating at the creative edge. At the same time, the Studios’ inventive design explores and shows off for the first time some of the creative possibilities inherent in interpretations of the “tacky” lighting associated with historic Times Square and vindicates the notion that the “character” of Times Square was worth substantial public efforts to preserve.
