Brooklyn Museum A new entry pavilion and the redesign of the Eastern Parkway Plaza, which
comprise the latest phase of ongoing work at the Brooklyn Museum,
reintegrate the building with its site. With the removal of the grand stair in the 1930s, the entrance to the Museum was shifted to grade level, and the original entry sequence lost. In order to welcome visitors and provide a communal space for its neighborhood, a significant transformation has been designed to introduce a new lobby and entry sequence, as well as new public plaza and outdoor exhibition and performance areas. This expansion creates a distinctive and inviting identity for the Museum and enhances its relationship with its community as well as with visitors. The glass addition combines the Beaux-Arts traditions of the original building with a clearly modern and transparent structure to further underscore the building's accessibility. Awards |
