NYU Langone Microsite
Ennead’s NYU Langone microsite tells the story of their involvement with the institution across various topics—from that of the patient experience to their sustainability and resiliency efforts.
I was responsible for the creation of assets for the site, the design of the screens, as well as its development from start to finish.
Visit SiteEnnead Architects (previously known as Polsheck Partnership), has been working on NYU’s medical campus for the past 50 years. While the original masterplan was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), most of the buildings currently present in the premises were designed by Ennead Architects. In order to showcase the extensive experience in the medical sector, the firm set out to create a microsite telling the different stories of their involvement across the decades.
Brainstorming Content Outline
The story of Ennead’s involvement in the medical campus spans different disciplines and a multitude of people. In order to consolidate the story of the work, the team got together to develop a comprehensive and coherent content outline for the site.
Final Affinity Diagram
Given the spatial nature of the story, the main idea behind the design of the site was to have a series of interactive architectural diagrams that would change along with the story being told.
Low, Mid, and Hi Fidelity Prototypes
Since the final design of the campus differed from the interim design diagrams, it was necessary to create every visual from scratch. This also allowed the site to have a consistent visual language throughout its diagrammatic content.

A series of animated diagrams were created in order to more effectively communicate the design intent behind some of the architectural features of the campus. These were made using a mix of After Effects, Rhino, and Vray.

The site was designed and developed mobile first and works across multiple devices. The site was developed from scratch and is being continuously updated as new stories about the project develop.
