American Craft Museum

Our proposal for the American Craft Museum's new headquarters at two Columbus Circle walks the delicate line between the past and the future. Edward Durell Stone's building for the Hunnington Hartford Museum put forth a building which reintegrated the decorative into Modernism. Stone was intrigued with the "plasticity of concrete", and the building's importance and contribution to Modernism is in its skin. Our scheme explores the same issues by substituting one skin for another. This new skin brings both new light and view into the building, and finds new space in the building by maximizing the envelope. The new materiality exposes relationships of art and industry.
