Precedent Study



Museum of American Folk Art

This museum is located on the 53rd Street in Manhattan, New York. It was designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien and Associates.
There are eight levels in the museum and the four upper floors are devoted to gallery space for permanent and temporary exhibitions. The museum is crowned by a skylight above a grand interior stair, with openings at each floor that allow natural light to filter into the galleries and through to the lower levels.

The experience of the museum visitor is an architectural journey, encouraging often surprising encounters with both new and familiar objects by using multiple and sometimes redundant paths of circulation.
