Abstract
The museum creates multiple reveals, physical and experiential. A site reveal of the neighboring iconic architecture of I.M. Pei and Eliel Saarinen create a focal point of clustered buildings around the threshold to the exhibit spaces. The occupant is then subjected to the experience of full scale assembly lines and craftsmen shops. True innovation, systemic, rather than object, is emphasized in the embodied process of making.
