YOSHIO TANIGUCHI (1937-2024)
Briefly

"Taniguchi’s design sparked controversy, with detractors deriding what they deemed its vast, bland spaces, while supporters lauded its refined simplicity and serene composition."
"New York Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff praised it as 'a serene composition that weaves art, architecture and the city into a transcendent aesthetic experience.'"
"His unexpected and airy 2004 renovation and expansion of MoMA doubled the institution's gallery space and, in less than a decade, its attendance."
