The museum of modern art has completed a renovation and expansion project that has effectively increased gallery space by as much as 30 % besides making the building more functional and improving its connection with the urban fabric. The expansion yields over 15,000 meters, enabling the MoMA to display more art in new and interdisciplinary ways. The operation has optimized spaces that already existed before, which are now more flexible and technologically sophisticated, as well as enlarged and opened up the main lobby, now double-height and bathed in light. The glass facade, new street-level galleries, and a ground floor free and open to all offer much greater transparency, bringing art to people walking through midtown Manhattan. The resulting architectural expression constitutes a conversation between the palette of preexisting materials and the new ones introduced within the building. The design taps into the construction´s historical DNA, relating disparate elements through a series of strategic interventions thath reflect certain characteristics of modernity, such as purity of materialexpression, spatial abstraction, and svelteness.
