The 3rd floor of the MOMA (Blurb #1)

Inexplicable amazing. There is true thought and effort that goes into the making of such great pieces of work, from the simplest to the most intricately detailed. The 194X–9/11: American Architects and the City, Young Architects Program 2011 and “Talk to Me” exhibits on the third floor of the MOMA provide a level of comfort with a focus on familiar common place subjects such as furniture, technology and the city in which we live. This floor almost feels like a second like home. However, what makes these exhibits attention grabbing is their perspectives on the everyday. Technology is not what it seems as it is transformed into an unexpectedly tangible form of communication, a seat is no longer a functional object but one made with the purpose of inspiring thought, broadening the norms by which we function, and as we live in a multilayered, complex city, we are asked to what length can we push our growth and existence, and how can we extend the literal building blocks of our urban society.
