The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has announced that Peterson Rich Office (PRO) will serve as lead designer of a sweeping redesign project focused on overhauling retail and dining spaces at the storied museum complex that spans two million square feet along the eastern edge of Central Park. Joining the 2018 RECORD Design Vanguard for this “major institutional initiative” is Beyer Blinder Belle (BBB) in the role of executive architect. While BBB has long served in this role for the Met, both firms have experience with redesigning/renovating art spaces within historical contexts. As a featured presenter at last month’s 2023 Innovation Conference in New York, PRO’s Miriam Peterson and Nathan Rich spoke on the topic with a presentation entitled “Contemporary Art and Historic Architecture.”
“We are honored to be a part of a long lineage of architects working within such an iconic New York, and uniquely American, institution,” said Peterson and Rich in a statement. “It is with a sense of great responsibility that we undertake this project.”
