SUMMARY:Materials & Methods: Glenstone and the Museum of Modern Art with Thomas Phifer
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS LECTURE\nArchitect Thomas Phifer will present the Glenstone Museum in Potomac\, Maryland\, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw\, Poland\, and the Wagner Park Pavilion\, a key component of the South Battery Park Resiliency Project in Lower Manhattan. Located on nearly 300 acres of rolling grassland and woodlands just outside Washington\, DC\, Glenstone offers a serene\, contemplative environment for visitors to experience contemporary art. Glenstone presents post-World War II artworks in a series of indoor and outdoor rooms designed to foster meaningful encounters. The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw\, Poland (MSN Warsaw) is the Museum’s first permanent home since its founding in 2005\, when it was established as a collecting institution focused on art created since 1989. Defined by a luminous white concrete form and open civic ground floor\, the museum brings art\, public life\, and history into calm\, enduring dialogue. Robert F. Wagner Jr. Park and Pavilion reimagine Battery Park City’s waterfront as a resilient civic landscape. An elevated park conceals flood infrastructure while preserving views\, access\, and ecology. The Pavilion\, designed by Thomas Phifer and Partners\, frames harbor vistas and delivers climate-adapted\, zero-carbon–targeted performance for year-round dining and community programming. \nABOUT THOMAS PHIFER\, FAIA\, Thomas Phifer & Partners\nSince founding his firm in 1997\, Thomas Phifer has completed the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw\, an expansion of the Glenstone Museum in Potomac\, Maryland\, an expansion of the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning\, New York\, the United States Courthouse in Salt Lake City\, Utah\, the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh\, North Carolina\, the Raymond and Susan Brochstein Pavilion at Rice University in Houston\, Texas\, the Moody Amphitheater in Austin\, Texas\, the Wagner Park Pavilion in Lower Manhattan\, two campus buildings for Indiana University\, and houses across the United States.
