Museum of Modern Art + Tower

Various architects built MoMA, including the Argentine-born Cesar Pelli, who designed the 1984 expansion, incorporating a residential tower. Though Pelli did not embrace the kinds of classical quotations favored by many of his contemporaries, he did produce a blue grey and white skin that acknowledged the past, particularly the colored grids and abstract geometries of the early 20th century DeStijl movement in the Netherlands.
