We are excited to share our concept for the planned new National Museum of the United States Navy, unveiled at an event alongside our collaborators Bjarke Ingels Group and Squint/Opera!
The competition is an important conceptual and artistic process toward creating a state-of-the-art museum and community institution – a home for both Naval veterans and the public, a living memorial to the U.S. Navy’s heritage, a lighthouse for education and public events.
Our vision for the planned new museum reflects the historical context of the Navy Yards, while referencing the scale, materials, and details of Navy vessels. An array of large-scale vitrines opens up towards a public street, welcoming visitors and locals with an impressive glimpse into the museum’s collection of artifacts inside and outside, conveying the mission, lineage, and breadth of operations that constitutes the US Navy.
