Bronx Museum of the Arts was expanded to include a new three-story cultural resource wing. The project’s most striking design element is the vertically folded front facade screen of fritted glass and painted aluminum panels placed diagonally, resulting in an accordion-like effect. The project also includes a double-height lobby to accommodate large scale works and to serve as the Museum’s primary area for gathering and visitor information; a newly expanded museum shop; a main gallery with a floating, slightly recessed ceiling; a second-floor open air terrace; a new education center, and a media lab.
