Minnesota Street Project
MAP Studio’s Minnesota Street Project embodies a creative, collaborative working spirit that celebrates the discrete history and energy of this spatial experience.
Developing this shell, while retaining the “raw” aesthetic, was a balancing act. To achieve a contrast, the MAP’s team crafted and exquisitely detailed the light vertical grained ash plywood “box” inserted into the space. Marks left by the construction crew with colored markers and notes – “the hieroglyphs of the built environment” – coupled with the exposed conduit dramatize the legacy of its’ “power of place”.
