SANAA's New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York
View through CrossRef
AbstractWhen Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, now of the Tokyo‐based firm SANAA (Sejima and Nishizawa and Associates), were selected to design the New Museum of Contemporary Art in 2002, they seemed an interesting but strange choice, since the cutting‐edge museum was moving to the Bowery, an area known more for its down‐and‐out residents than its art‐world glamour. But, as Jayne Merkel explains, the architects have managed to produce a building that is both rough and ready and beyond the fray. It is already a rather mysterious landmark rising several double‐height storeys above its gritty neighbours. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
