The highly anticipated catalogue dedicated to the New Museum’s stunning new building is here! The first museum to be developed from the ground up in Lower Manhattan, this seven story wonder was designed by the renowned architectural duo SANAA - Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa. Finalized only after the building was complete, the essays, images, and architectural renderings contained within this book allow for a unique and thorough insight into the numerous stages of the institution’s transformation into a landmark destination. From the talks to build in 2000, to the opening in December 2007, these pages eloquently provide insight into SANAA’s process.

Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners in the architectural firm, SANAA, have been chosen as the 2010 Laureates of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.
