Working across the country on several sites at once to upgrade the Wall Street journal facilities was a project that required coordination, expertise, and flexibility.  The facilities housed football field sized machines, this created a different scale that the architecture needed to respond to.  At the same time, the space did need to provide for the people that worked and maintained these gargantuan machines.  Designing at both scales simultaneously presented an opportunity to understand the relationship between man and machine.

Each site provided its own challenges.  Building at existing facilities and incorporating new extensions while the old presses had to keep rolling meant that the staging and construction process needed to be part of the design process.  Each location also had a different climate, zoning, and regulatory condition.  These parameters determine massing, materiality, and location while creating a dialogue with the interior condition that had its own requirements.
