Whitney Downtown Museum | New York | Axis Mundi
Axis Mundi has re-imagined the Whitney Downtown Museum with a self-initiated proposal that is raw and provocative, and as bold in spirit as the original Breuer building on Madison Avenue.
The site is located at the beginning of the High Line, at the intersection of Washington and Gansevoort
Streets. Axis Mundisought to ground the new building in a web of historical axes which form and organize
the program. The plan is based on a series ofsight lines extending to 10th Avenue, the Empire State Building,
the Whitney on Madison, and the location of the original Whitney onWest 10th Street...........more
