The New Museum on the Bowery

The new New Museum is beginning to take shape. It’s on the Bowery just around the corner from my apartment on Stanton Street, and I pass it nearly every day. The architects are Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA. They do terrific stuff. Like it or not (think metal boxes with few windows), this will be one of the most noteworthy buildings constructed in new York in the last few decades. I’ll be back with more pictures as things progress.
