The zoning drops to R-9 from the previous R-10 Midtown zoning code. The neighborhood has some historic properties and older walkup buildings, so the drop in scale is in reference to the existing housing stock. Regardless of intervention, the Upper East Side remains successful, but the insertion would add more park space and connections across the community.

The RACA project must meet two demands: A. REFLECTION (museum) or B. CONTINUATION (practice + addition). The current program and its stagnancy has left the site forgotten—it is a typical static museum on a living site. The site and addition must constantly change through the participation of people.
