University of Pennsylvania: Fisher-Bennett Hall Visualizations

Dagit Saylor Architects were hired to renovate The University of Pennsylvania's Fisher-Bennett Hall to accommodate larger seminar rooms, music education classrooms and a new garden entry on the southwestern side of the building. In order to illustrate the design concepts and to achieve additional donor funding, renderings were developed by RethinkTANK. All visualizations were developed by RethinkTANK. Design by Dagit Saylor Architects.
