The expansion of MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, has been widely acclaimed for its elegant sense of space. Created by architect Yoshio Tanaguchi with support from the firm of Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), MoMA's design balances pure internal spaces with striking external views.
KPF and Tanaguchi worked carefully to "conceal the details" of glass, mullions, and fabric that frame the fantastic views. The large spans of glass sit inside the slenderest metal mullions and contain highly functional, integrated shading systems that provide light control. This dual-shade system -- custom-engineered by Nysan Solar Control (a Hunter Douglas company) -- uses white, translucent fabric to moderate light entering the building
