Abstract:

The article focuses on a GLBT student center at the University of Pennsylvania. An 1877 carriage house in Philadelphia is now transformed into a home base for queer students at the university of Pennsylvania by gay architect Belmont Freeman. The carriage house's unexpectedly modern interior is only fitting for its role as home of the university's GLBT center. Contrary to traditional carriage houses, this one announces its new, proud incarnation with modern insertions in its rehabilitated facade, where coolly translucent glass panels hint at a dramatic minimalism within.
