Architectural History of MOMA The first Director at MoMA submitted a plan for the conception and organization of the Museum that would result in the Museum's multi-departmental. Expansions took place during the 1950s and 1960s planned by the architect Philip Johnson, who also designed The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden; and in 1984, a major renovation designed by Cesar Pelli doubled the Museum's gallery space and enhanced visitor facilities. In 2004, Yoshio Taniguchi designed architecturally distinctive galleries (spacious and smaller, more intimately scaled for the Museum’s commitment to the art of our time) specifically for the type and scale of works displayed in order to provide an ideal showcase for MoMA's unparalleled collection of modern and contemporary art.

Designed by Foster and Partners, the entire complex is sheltered beneath a broad, enveloping roof that is ‘shrink-wrapped’ around the buildings beneath in order to allow for maximum attention to detail in their acoustic properties. The Sage Music and Art Gallery

Vladimir Tatlin Achieved fame as the architect who designed the huge Monument to the Third International. Planned in 1920, the monument, was to be a tall tower in iron, glass and steel which would have dwarfed the Eiffel Tower. Influential in Constructivist art with his pre-Revolutionary counter-reliefs, structures made of wood and iron for hanging in wall corners. He conceived these sculptures in order to question the traditional idea of painting. Achieved fame as the architect who designed the huge Monument to the Third International.
