Charrette Submission for The Museum of Modern Art Expansion 1997, New York (Manhattan), New York, First Phase
1997
A mixed-media study on paper in which Tod Williams Billie Tsien and Associates propose a concept for The Museum of Modern Art’s 1997 first-phase expansion, resolving programmatic needs, circulation, and urban context.
The submission documents late-20th-century debates about museum expansion and urban insertion, illustrating Williams and Tsien’s humane, material-focused approach that helped steer contemporary museum design toward contextual sensitivity and careful proportion.
