This is my proposal for the expansion of Columbia University into the adjacent neighborhood of Harlem and Manahattanville.  The [CRAMP]us is designed to have a minimal social and political impact to the surrounding community of Harlem, by merely touching down with structural elevator cores on pre-existing open lots.  The remaining 5.5 million square feet of program is built above these pillars, allowing for future real estate to be developed on the site below.  The C(r)ampus would be constructed in phases; 1) a phase of vertical support structures 2) constructing a ribbon-like network of programmable space using a two-dimensional frame structural system 3) providing flexible and future programmable space to be cantilevered off of the main structure up to a maximum capacity.
