Queens Museum of Art
Grimshaw Architects with Amman & Whitney
The 105,000-square-foot design will increase the museum's visibility and physical connection to its surrounding so that the building integrates with Flushing Meadows Corona Park on the east and is made more identifiable from the Grand Central Parkway on the west. The focal element of the design is a fully sky-lit winter garden within the existing voluminous interior. Seven galleries ranging in size are organized around this central space, and sun shading devices will be part of the skylight system to allow diffused natural light into the exhibition spaces from the courtyard's upper side walls.
