Today's archidose #666

Just so happens that #666 (aka <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast">Number of the Beast</a>) of the "today's archidose" series features the soon-to-razed American Folk Art Museum, coming two days after <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/11/arts/design/moma-to-raze-ex-american-folk-art-museum-building.html?pagewanted=all">MoMA announced</a> they are going to replace the 12-year-old museum designed by <a href="http://www.twbta.com/">Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects</a> with an expansion that melds with their building. It's doubtful that the MoMA expansion will have as much exterior character or interior richness as its predecessor. Shame on MoMA for not finding a way to keep this important building.<br /><br />A screenshot from the <a href="http://www.twbta.com/#/regardingthefolkartmuseum">TWBTA website</a>:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8642429035/" title="Regarding the Folk Art Museum by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Regarding the Folk Art Museum" height="390" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8118/8642429035_8c31843204_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Some photos by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottnorsworthy/">Scott Norsworthy</a>:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottnorsworthy/3016555146/" title="American Folk Art Museum - Tod Williams Billie Tsien & Associates by Scott Norsworthy, on Flickr"><img alt="American Folk Art Museum - Tod Williams Billie Tsien & Associates" height="640" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3156/3016555146_c0144c1dbc_z.jpg" width="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottnorsworthy/3011132146/" title="American Folk Art Museum by Scott Norsworthy, on Flickr"><img alt="American Folk Art Museum" height="640" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3234/3011132146_989884237f_z.jpg" width="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottnorsworthy/2984806555/" title="American Museum of Folk Art - Tod Williams Billie Tsien & Associates by Scott Norsworthy, on Flickr"><img alt="American Museum of Folk Art - Tod Williams Billie Tsien & Associates" height="640" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3210/2984806555_120ff8343c_z.jpg" width="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottnorsworthy/2988387786/" title="American Folk Art Museum - Tod Williams Billie Tsien & Associates by Scott Norsworthy, on Flickr"><img alt="American Folk Art Museum - Tod Williams Billie Tsien & Associates" height="439" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3046/2988387786_e4eca9ea1d_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottnorsworthy/2990365503/" title="American Folk Art Museum - Tod Williams Billie Tsien & Associates by Scott Norsworthy, on Flickr"><img alt="American Folk Art Museum - Tod Williams Billie Tsien & Associates" height="640" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3007/2990365503_27e80062c6_z.jpg" width="427" /></a><br /><br />To contribute your Flickr images for consideration, just:<br /><blockquote>:: Join and add photos to the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/archi-dose/">archidose pool</a>, and/or<br />:: Tag your photos <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/archidose/">archidose</a></span></blockquote>
