Summary:
In the Fall of 2004, The Museum of Modern Art completed a major expansion and renovation of its famous midtown Manhattan building, doubling the Museum's size and introducing dynamic new galleries and public spaces. At the core of the remodeled Museum, designed by architect Yoshio Taniguchi, is the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, newly restored to its 1953 dimensions. Described by Taniguchi as "perhaps the most distinctive single element of the Museum today," the Sculpture Garden, an oasis of water, trees and masterpieces of modern sculpture, has long been the Museum's signature space--as well as its social heart. This fully illustrated, affordable, pocket-sized book is designed to convey the beauty and elegance of the garden. It also features a photographic chronology of the many performances, exhibitions and events held in the garden over the years, as well as an introduction and a brief historical narrative.

Summary:
Peter Latz and Partners specialize in a contemporary, intelligent use of alternative technologies and the regeneration of industrial wastelands. They have worked with Norman Foster among others.

Process orientation and the revealing of chronological layers of a site are the focus of design. The firm’s current projects include the design of large-scale street and park environments on the Plateau de Kirchberg in the European City of Luxembourg, the Parco Dora in Turin, Italy, and the conversion of a disused waste disposal site in Ayalon Park near Tel Aviv, Israel. Peter Latz teaches at the Technical University) in Munich-Weihenstephan and has held guest professorships at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University.
