Responding to Wright: Architects Design for the Guggenheim
Throughout the Guggenheim’s history, esteemed architects have interpreted and engaged the museum’s rotunda. For the 60th anniversary, three of those architects, Lise Anne Couture, Hani Rashid, and Meejin Yoon, discuss their bold, site-specific exhibition design interventions that amplified the singularity of Wright’s architectural icon. A catalyst for transformational experiences, the building mandates custom fabrication and exhibition design for every show. The program mediates on the spectrum of design possibilities the building engenders. Peter B. Lewis Theater. $15, $10 members and students.
