“With the renovation of our entrance and new identity, we hope to further our mission to not only champion artists who are not typically represented within museums, but also amplify our ability to educate, engage and provide a critical gathering space for our communities.”
Klaudio Rodriguez, Former Executive Director at The Bronx Museum of the Arts for ArchPaper
The new Bronx Museum of The Arts entrance is relocated to a prominent corner, establishing a strong connection between the public realm and the museum's interior.
Its generous proportions allow for flexible use, accommodating various activities and events, which can spill out onto the street, fostering vibrancy and strengthening the museum's integration with the surrounding community.
The design team used a large physical model to test various facades and internal program layouts. The same base model was refined into the vision for the project as is used as a presentation tool.
The origami like nature of the North Wing facade inspired the new geometric roof, which folds extend horizontal, rather than vertically. Plus, the folds are more open, in an effort to follow the ethos of transparency and uniting the corner of the campus.
Through this revitalization, we aim to create a Bronx Museum that not only preserves its historic significance but also becomes a vibrant and engaging cultural destination for all.
