THE Edifice

BUILDING EXTERIOR

Designed past the internationally acclaimed firm Herzog & de Meuron, the Parrish Fine art Museum is sited on xiv acres in the hamlet of Water Manufactory. The innovative pattern integrates architecture and landscape in a plan that both respects and reflects the singular natural dazzler and rich artistic legacy of Long Island'southward Eastward Finish.

The building is inspired by the light, water, and heaven that create the unique temper of the region. The exterior suggests the colloquial architecture of sheds and potato barns that for generations doubled as artist work spaces. The sky-lit galleries recreate the light and proportions of the typical creative person'south studio.

The horizontal structure, sited to take advantage of natural northward light, is nestled discreetly in the landscape. It consists of two parallel wings joined past a central spine that runs the total length of the building. The poured-in-place physical walls are deeply recessed under a long, elegant white corrugated metallic roof that extends over porches and a six,000 square-foot terrace on the southwest end. Large sections of drinking glass incorporated into the north and south walls afford floor-through views into the Museum and beyond to the surrounding landscape.

Builder's Statement

"The starting bespeak for the new Parrish Fine art Museum is the artist's studio on the East End of Long Island. Nosotros set the basic parameters for a single gallery space by distilling the studio's proportions and adopting its simple house section with due north-facing skylights. An ordered sequence of post, beam and truss defines the unifying courage of the building. Its materialisation is a direct expression of readily accessible building materials and local construction methods.

The exterior walls deed as long bookends to the overall building class, while their chiliad scale is tempered with a continuous bench formed at its base for sitting and viewing the surrounding landscape."
–Herzog & De Meuron Architects

INTERIOR

Visitors enter the Museum through the Wassong Family unit Gallery, a 1,000 foursquare human foot outdoor space with its wall of glass that allows a full view through the entrance hall gallery out to the southern meadow. Hand wire brush end, black tinted stained double doors open into the Visitor Services expanse, Museum Shop, and Café.

Adult by architects Herzog & de Meuron and industrial designer Konstantin Grcic, the interior mirrors the purity, simplicity, and functionality of the architecture. Natural wood—200-year-erstwhile center pine salvaged from a demolished Virginia fabric mill—ties the interior spaces together and establishes a human scale throughout the building.

THE GALLERIES

Air, calorie-free, and the relationship between art and nature have made the East Terminate a compelling destination for generations of artists, and the intimate, well-proportioned Museum galleries embrace these qualities. The Parrish is one of the few American museums that presents work in natural light, creating a bright, open feeling in ten sky-lit galleries. Traditional lighting is used in the two central "spine" galleries to protect the works on newspaper installed there.

Based on a 1,000 square-human foot module, the gallery spaces afford 12,200 square anxiety of exhibition space, assuasive us to exhibit both piece of work from our collection of more than 3,000 art works besides as temporary exhibitions.
