The plan, the blueprints and the film

Osiyos Porchos is now a division of the Museum of the Scroll with a master plan, an eleven-sheet schematic blueprint set, a concept film and a massing model. The building reads from west to east: the Commons, the galleries, the Shulhoyf with its twelve shuls, and the Finale Hall at the highest floor under its east clerestory.

Every drawing is a concept drawing. Every frame of the film is a concept rendering. The next steps are the architect of record, the site, and the founding gifts that name the rooms.
