 |
| Designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects of New York, the museum will occupy four levels, one below grade, of a 19-storey residential tower encompassing 75,000 sq ft of space. Built of built of precast panels and glass, the building is distinguished on its north and west facades by trapezoidal windows with bronze-finished aluminum mullions that create a dynamic pattern. Entry is through a soaring glass atrium that leads to a 45-foot high lobby in which curving expanses of African etimoe wood form one of the walls and the ceiling. Joining the lobby at ground level will be a shop, restaurant and a 245-seat theatre and multi-media education centre. The second level will provide 15,000 sq ft of gallery space. Above it on the third floor will be offices, a library and an event space with a terrace overlooking Central Park. |
