Revealing the past, present, and future of African-American culture in Harlem through architectural transparency and the light of new knowledge. This multi-use literary center seeks to honor the great Harlem-based poet Langston Hughes by providing guests with art galleries and a double-heighted library space with poetry rooms. The facade design represents a typical Brownstone Facade that has been lifted off and punctured through as an abstraction of the typical facade window grid.
