robert irwin designed the museum (video)

  • wanted it to be a non-hierarchical space
  • “not fuck up” the building, the lightest touch possible to make it the best container possible
    • the windows with clear cutouts surrounded by translucent blurs
    • the long hallways, no pre-determined route
    • the garden and parking lots leading up
    • the enclosed garden
    • the entrance to it starts at Grand Central because that’s how people would nroamlly get up here
