My choice(Oksana)


Chelsea Art Museum Facade Lighting
M S W(Mader Stublic Wiermann) from Berlin/Germany designed a new skin facade for the Chelsea Art Museum in New York/USA.
1.It features a skin layer made of LED rods that is offset away from the original facade of the museum.
A layer of vertical LED-rods are installed on the façade of the Chelsea Art Museum, with a gap in between the building and the new structure.
2.The installation will feature abstract images moving across the building, at times even appearing to extend the structure of the Museum beyond its actual size. The gap left between the original building and the new façade structure respects the integrity of the building, while manipulating its appearance depending on the installation’s programming and the viewers position.
3!!!
Most importantly, the new facade does not replace the existing one, rather, it plays with its surface and volume. Consequently, art, normally contained within a museum, will step beyond the confines of the building to interact with the city and its inhabitants. The new architectonic volume of the building will strengthen Chelsea Art Museum’s presence in the Manhattan cityscape.
