Much of the measurement work from the Museum of Modern Art atrium is now complete. The following image gallery gives a sense of this process. Click on an image for more information.

Additionally, the Bernhardt Laboratories installation crew were afforded an opportunity to unload some provisional works for the Measuring MoMA project. These samples were brought into the museum’s loading bay and later into the atrium to test relationships between objects and to establish sightlines from various locations. The mock-ups used in this process were fairly rough, owing to the broad estimations of space in the atrium used prior to our opportunity to take these physical measurements. Based on comparisons between our drawings, models, and mock-ups against the physical dimensions of the atrium, some retooling of elements has proven necessary, as we expected. Details of this project (except those already revealed) will remain under wraps until further notice.
