The renovation and expansion of Dia Art Foundation’s three adjacent buildings in Chelsea re-establishes its New York presence and foregrounds the artist’s vision. Grounded in Dia’s architectural legacy of adapting existing structures, the design features two exhibition spaces, a new ground-floor entry, a bookstore, and a flexible “talk space” for 150 people, all united behind a new brick façade. The project also includes new offices, an expanded library, and education space on two upper floors.
