SOM.COMSOM.COMSkyscraper Museum
Battery Park City, New York
The Skyscraper Museum in Battery Park City occupies a small storefront space that aspires to the very large scale of its subject—the history and development of the skyscraper. The mirror-polished stainless steel floor and ceiling create the impression of an infinitely vertical space, with reflections of exhibit display vitrines appearing as soaring volumes representative of a skyscraper skyline.
