Archasm

Though plans were approved in November for the $70 million FXFOWLE-designed Statue of Liberty Museum, Archasm recently launched a speculative design competition for the site. Titled "LIBERTY MUSEUM NEW YORK: Freedom to the people," the timely contest sought proposals that focused on civil and social justice, and ArchDaily now brings us the winning design from EUS+ Architects' Jungwoo Ji, Folio's Bosuk Hur, and Iowa State University student Suk Lee. The Korean designers were inspired by candlelight marches against social injustice in their home country and created an architectural landscape of water droplet-shaped modules that respond to global issues in real time. When a tweet about "dire events" is sent to the museum, the modules receive an electronic signal and moves to point toward the geographic location mentioned.
