    "The architect, Yoshio Taniguchi, of the new addition to the Museum of Modern Art in New York said to the trustees at the beginning, “Raise a lot of money for me, I’ll give you good architecture. Raise even more money, I’ll make the architecture disappear.“

    Jesus.

    A Museum should enhance the experience and make fluid the progress of anyone inside with [somewhat limited] liberty of movements.

    It shouldn't blur the reason of its conception: the works displayed.

    Oscar Niemeyer's Rio Musuem, Herzog's Tate, Lloyd's Guggenheim, A'Dam Stedelijk,
    Siza Serralves are some of [imo] the best examples of museum solutions that can enhance one's visit from the typical 'one way' without the architect engaging in 'masturbatory ego exercises'.
