Clad in translucent PTFE, the lightweight enclosure system envelops the interior pools to create a luminous, daylight-maximizing interior. Gently curving wooden structural ribs radiate around a central spine that joins the three wings of the building. The proposed design features forms that rise in undulating gestures, taking cues from the rippling surface of the river and the landscape of the Upper Yangtze, while evoking biomorphic anatomy. A complex program includes a series of interior and exterior pools for breeding and raising both species that mimic their natural migration into waters of varying sizes and salinity, as well as facilities dedicated to research for their natural habitat. The preserve merges efforts to repopulate the dwindling numbers of Chinese sturgeon and finless porpoise with public engagement to build a popular support for ecological conservation. Located on an island at the mouth of the Yangtze River and set within a 43-acre landscape, the 427,000-square-foot building contains an aquarium and a research facility. This is Gluckman Tang’s second exhibition space for the Brant Foundation, the first being in a barn in Greenwich, CT, which today serves as the foundation’s Art Study Center.Įnnead selected to design Shanghai Yangtze River Estuary PreserveĮnnead Architects, in partnership with Philadelphia-based landscape architect Andropogon, has been named the winner of an international design competition for the Shanghai Yangtze River Estuary Chinese Sturgeon Nature Preserve. For its inaugural show, the foundation has mounted Jean-Michel Basquiat, an exhibition of 70 paintings and works on paper by the late East Village artist who rose to prominence in the early 1980s. Landscape firm Madison Cox Associates designed two gardens that flank the building on its west and north sides, as well as the plantings on the roof terrace. Gluckman Tang has renovated the space to create a 16,000-square-foot museum that features 7,000 square feet of exhibition space across four floors. The building subsequently served as the home and studio of artist Walter De Maria from the mid-1980s until his death in 2013. The private museum occupies a century-old neo-Classical-style building originally designed as a substation for Con Edison in 1920. The Brant Foundation’s New York City space recently opened at 421 East 6th Street in the East Village. Gluckman Tang transforms space into Brant Foundation museum Substation to Artist’s Studio to Private Museum Hudson Yards is developed by Related/Oxford. The structure joins a pantheon of buildings designed by Foster + Partners, Diller Scofio + Renfro, Elkus Manfredi, KPF, Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates, The Rockwell Group, and SOM, with a master plan by KPF. The structural steel frame covered in a polished copper-colored cladding was fabricated in Italy and arrived in New York in 75 pieces, which were assembled on-site. The public art installation at the center of the development rises 150 feet in the air and contains a total of 2,500 steps, 154 interconnecting flights of stairs, and 80 landings. Designed by Heatherwick Studio, Vessel draws inspiration from the ancient step wells of India. The structure temporarily known as Vessel, considered the centerpiece of Hudson Yards, has opened to the public. An exhibition of the five finalists’ proposals will be on view at MoMA PS1 in summer 2019. Pedro&Juana was selected from five finalists-San Antonio, TX-based Low Design Office, the team of New York-based Oana Stănescu and Stockholm-based Akane Moriyama, New York’s Matter Design, and Mexico City-based TO. The exterior of the structure features protruding wood “bristles” that create a dynamic sense of movement. Amplifying the experience are hammocks crafted in the south of Mexico and a functioning waterfall. The presence of this large circular structure reconfigures the courtyard into an immersive environment that visitors can move in and out of, contrasting with the cityscape immediately adjacent to the museum. The nearly 40-foot-tall, 90-foot-wide structure hovers over the courtyard space, reframing the horizon and positioning visitors in an urban jungle. Hórama Rama is a jungle-scape set within a large-scale cyclorama. Opening in June 2019, the installation will be on view through the summer, serving as a temporary built environment for MoMA PS1’s outdoor music series, Warm Up. Hórama Rama by Mexico City-based Pedro&Juana has been named the winner of the Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1’s 20th-annual Young Architects Program.
