This New Art Museum Building in 235 Bowery, New York, NY 10002 was designed by SANAA Architects and completed built in 2007. The New Contemporary Art Museum was constructed in 58,700 sq ft constructed areawith the concept is the simplicity and clearness, and it translated into construction cleanly.
The museum accommodates some programs, those are: four public galleries at the first four floors, which have free and flexible spaces for exhibitions; a “white box” auditorium in the basement, Education Center at the 5th floor, offices at 6th, a multi-purpose room at the 7th. All galleries are possible to get natural illumination because of the shifting boxes technique. This natural lighting is combined with artificial. The design also considers that the offices and the private locals on the top floors can get terraces and opening views to the cityscape.
The materials and the façade were designed in order to that the museum becomes a light and clean object in the massive Manhattan cityscape. A layer of anodized aluminium mesh on top of the white walls is used as a wrapped skin on all vertical surfaces, as a continuous blurring layer, that gives different light reflections and hides the offices windows, doors and balustrades of the terraces. The building performs an elegant, light and white succession of surfaces, without any interruption or contamination by other elements. The skin is like a semi-transparent dress for the shifting body of the building.
