“Mt. Sinai Hospital — 1987”
Mount Sinai began one of the largest redevelopment programs ever undertaken by an academic medical center in 1986. The centerpiece was the one-million-square-foot Guggenheim Pavilion, completed in 1992; Joseph's 1987 entry lands during active construction.
Another perfect 'city replacing itself' story: eleven hospital buildings came down to create a radically different, light-filled medical complex.
