\nIf you buy the premise of feisty walking-talking exhibits in the movie Night at the Museum<\/i>, the future Gilder Center at New York\u2019s American Museum of Natural History will provide ample space for Teddy Roosevelt, Attila the Hun, dinosaurs, African mammals\u2014and patrons\u2014to roam freely.<\/p>\n

\"Studio<\/p>\n

Located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Studio Gang\u2019s proposal for the Guilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation\u00a0calls for a 218,000-square-foot addition (20,252 square metres) to the American Museum of Natural History.\u00a0Curving forms created by structural concrete bands will bend from the inside out, and will be clad in stone on the exterior.<\/p>\n

These sculpted geological canyons and glacial formations (which functionally reinforce\u00a0the building\u2019s interior weight) are reminiscent of the natural wonders at Utah\u2019s Arches National Park. All that\u2019s missing is dust, wind and a spectacular sunset. This new complex will represent the new beating heart of the entire museum, linking 10 separate buildings.<\/p>\n

\"Studio<\/p>\n

Chicago-based Studio Gang\u2019s proposed expansion modernizes and opens up the American Museum of Natural History\u2014improving traffic flow and fabricating a more magical experience for tourists, architecture aficionados<\/em><\/strong>, natural history lovers, movie buffs\u00a0and perhaps even spelunkers. The design showcases a\u00a0sun-drenched Central Exhibition Hall (with a seven-story atrium) in the form of undulating cement walls, niche caves housing exhibits, and connective sky bridges from which patrons can walk across, beneath or merely use for serenading from above or below.<\/p>\n

\"Studio<\/p>\n

\u201cWe uncovered a way to vastly improve visitor circulation and museum functionality, while tapping into the desire for exploration and discovery that are emblematic of science and also part of being human,\u201d said Studio Gang founder Jeanne Gang.<\/p>\n

\"Studio<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon entering the space, natural daylight from above and sightlines to various activities inside invite movement through the Central Exhibition Hall on a journey towards deeper understanding. The architectural design grew out of the museum\u2019s mission,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
