Museum of sculpture Parsons' design development studio project Joe, Jenny Art museums Sculpture museums Design drawings Student projects Project: The proposed building will be a modern sculpture museum in Chelsea New York. The future pedestrian Highline crosses the site in north to south direction. Besides exhibition spaces, the museum will also include a small auditorium, library, cafeteria, and offices. Because the space will display sculptures, the museum should be seen as one too, from both outside and inside. As a sculptural exhibit, the building will have attractive form that resonant and even advertises the interior programming. In gallery spaces one may concentrate and enjoy a sculpture piece, but in spaces such as circulation, the focus is broadened to the building form and its space. The basic form of the museum started with complex, inversely tapered cylinders, forming a double layered "8", crossing each other. That logic is integrated with a grid system which follows the established linearity of the city block and highline. The system is represented by the linear floor plates, piercing through the cylinders, and by the facades, which are glazing held by beams and columns School of Architecture.
