Queens Museum
Queens, NY

The building's structural frame would be revealed and would become a scaffold for multiple uses, with only small modifications needed to create more neutral, flexible spaces.

The Museum would be organized to provide for maximum flexibility, allowing it to be opened in different ways for different events. Exhibition spaces are designed to be neither overly generalized nor too idiosyncratic. With the galleries forming a U-shaped band around a great multi-purpose hall, a number of circuits throughout the museum would be possible and a variety of lighting conditions could be created.
