Storm King Art Center, New York

New York

Storm King Art Center’s first major capital project led by heneghan peng architects with WXY in NYC, enhances arrival, expands outdoor exhibition space, and introduces a state-of-the-art conservation and fabrication facility. A rethought arrival sequence gathers all visitors in an “Outdoor Lobby,”. Centered on the ethos of building only what’s necessary, the radically reduced built footprint uses fewer materials and less energy and prioritises the visitor’s engagement with nature.

Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Headquarters | Dublin

The location of the site at the juncture of the Phoenix Park and the City is the critical generating moment for this project.

The distinction between park and building is blurred- the park continues onto the building - the building slides into the park.

During the Olympics a central temporary infill between the bridges accommodates the crowds. In the legacy park, two bowls are created on either side of the lock linking the upper park concourse with the lower level of towpaths and waterways.
