Design for MoMA Tower



- "manhattan based firm axis mundi has unveiled a conceptual alternative design for MoMA tower. founder of the firm john beckmann sees this as the time to rethink the tall buildings that have become synonymous with new york city's identity.

'instead of disguising the rich potential of towers that have a mix of uses, we looked for a way to express that diversity,' beckmann noted. the firm used parametric computer modeling software to test a wide range of possibilities. out of this iterative process they proposes a new way to organize and express tall buildings: the vertical neighborhood.'"
