Abstract

Before moving permanently to another part of Manhattan, Marcel Breuer’s Whitney Museum of American Art was the subject of numerous attempts to expand it, including those by its author that show evidence of an architectural addition juxtaposed to the original building. The impossibility of enlarging an icon of modernity such as Breuer’s Whitney becomes the pretext for a design experiment by the PhD in Theories of Architecture and Design involving a number of young scholars who confront the work in a close dialogue between critical reading and architectural writings of its transformation.
