Architecture studio OMA has mirrored the programme of the SANAA-designed New Museum in Manhattan with an extension that has a unique profile and facade treatment.
Led by OMA‘s New York office, the New Museum expansion features a ground-up build abutting the structure Japanese architecture studio SANAA designed for the institution in 2007.
OMA’s project, its first public building in the city, doubles the footprint of the contemporary art museum to 120,000 square feet (11,000 square metres), adding much-needed social and gallery space and additional egress for the expanding number of visitors.
