21c Indianapolis & Brooklyn | Deborah Berke Partners
21c Indianapolis and 21c Brooklyn propose synergistic additions to existing buildings. In Indianapolis, the museum hotel program spans from the old city hall to a new glass tower addition. In Brooklyn, the ground-up metal screen and masonry building connects to the Mark Morris dance group building creating a continuum between the art and performing related programs.
