BMW GUGGENHEIM LAB
New York, NY
Fiedler Marciano was selected by the Guggenheim Museum as Architects of Record for the inaugural installation of the BMW Guggenheim Lab - a temporary structure designed by the Tokyo-based firm Atelier Bow Wow. It will be erected in three different cities over the course of two years and serves as a travelling research laboratory for investigating and discussing contemporary urban issues. From inception through completion, Fiedler Marciano worked in close collaboration with museum staff and the entire project team to develop all aspects of the structure. The firm’s direct responsibilities as local architects included site design, coordination of site specific engineering, jurisdictional approvals, administration of the erection and disassembly of the Lab structure and subsequent site remediation.

The Lab opens in New York City on August 3, 2011 for a ten week cycle and supports a diverse array of public programming including lectures, workshops, exhibitions, seminars and community-based activities.
