"Frida Escobedo's extraordinarily inspired, deeply thoughtful, and dynamic design for the Tang Wing cements her standing as one of today's most relevant architects," said Max Hollein, The Met's Marina Kellen French Director and Chief Executive Officer.
"The scaled facade takes its cues from the Roche Dinkeloo visionary 1971 master plan, which calls for a rhythm of solids and voids, as exemplified through the use of glass and limestone," revealed the museum's release.
"Escobedo's elegant, contemporary design reflects not only an understanding of architectural history, materiality, and artistic expression but also a deep appreciation for The Met's mission, collection, and visitors," Hollein emphasized.
