 Brooklyn Museum of Art Best of 2004 - Project of the Year - Cultural 

The Brooklyn Museum of Art, with an old entrance that one architectural critic said epitomized the dominance of "culture over the individual," has a whole new look. That fortress-like entry of the 19th century structure has been softened by a welcoming plaza that radiates from the building's central hall and funnels people through to an airy pavilion. The extensive work on the historic McKim Mead & White structure - part of a multiyear renovation effort that included roof repair and substantial interior renovations - wrapped up in the spring. The charge to the design team was to reintegrate the building with the site as well as to metaphorically recreate an iconic grand staircase removed decades ago. Most significantly, the team was to create a new public identity for the mu-seum. That none of the work impacted the museum's operations was, in itself, a work of art. Creating the vision is one thing. Implementing it is quite another, especially when dealing with a structure past the century mark, suffering from significant facade deterioration. With that backdrop, construction manager Bovis Lend Lease LMB Inc. explored strategies for providing temporary shoring even a year before construction started on the $40 million job. Dismissed as impossible or prohibitively expensive by other contractors, Nabco Construction Services - throuah extensive field investiaations - finallv devised a shoring scheme.
