The Women's Building

 Terug naar projectenlijst

Reddymade was honored to be one of thirteen shortlisted firms as The Devi Group in collaboration with Damyanti Radheshwar for the Women’s Building. This project reimagines a former women’s prison in the heart of New York, abandoned after Hurricane Sandy as a headquarters for the global girls and women's rights movement, that could provide support and resources for non-profit groups in the field.

Designed as a beacon in the landscape, that announces it's important mission, the new tower embraces the old building in fluid ribbons of high-performance concrete. A key feature of the interior is a vertical light sculpture that was to be designed and made by girls from underprivileged communities in on-site fabrication workshops bringing sunlight from the roof into the depths of the former prison.
