Notes: SITE describes itself as an architecture and environmental arts organization chartered in New York City in 1970 for the purpose of exploring new concepts for building and public spaces. SITE is committed to reaching beyond architecture's formal conventions and historical base (architecture as design) to create architecture as art. An art which relates to its surroundings, and which communicates and has meaning for the people who live with it. Alison Sky has been instrumental in the conceptual development of all of SITE's work. As Project Designer, and Partner in Charge, Sky organizes, directs and analyzes all project research. She is involved in the conceptual design of projects from inception, and remains actively involved in all stages through to completion. http://www.alisonsky.com/
