[“ChronoGraft,” a combination of “Chrono,” meaning time, and “graft,” referring to the process of grafting or attaching parts of the building. In this context, it suggests a project that involves the grafting or movement of elements from different moments in time within the building. Our project started by analyzing the current setting of the LPC. Currently, the LPC headquarters is nested within the David N. Dinkins Municipal Building, across from the City Hall, where all visitors are required to provide a photo ID and go through a security check. This results in a very closed, uninviting space that fences the public away. With the preservation methodology that LPC uses now, we discovered that there is an inclination to preserve the façade or to maintain the visual integrity of the exterior. For example, the Washington Square Methodist Church that is two blocks away from our site has an intact façade and exterior conditions but was transformed into an 8-unit luxury apartment, where the interior went through a complete overhaul. Our design proposes an alternative to this method of preservation. Rather than only preserving the shell of a building, we decided to focus on the preservation of a specific moment, which could be a space, room, materials, corner conditions, sequence, etc. Furthermore, to make the LPC and the preservation process more known to the public, we intend the project to open up and engage the public.
