“The museum will be a dynamic new presence downtown … as a vital resource that engages the neighborhood , enlivens the cultural dialogue , and welcomes the people of New York and beyond.
”
- Neil G. Bluhm, president of the Board of Trustees
The future Houston is designed to embrace and reciprocate the energy of the neighborhood and provide a stimulating and immersive space in which to experience art.

Summary
Lighting redesign approached from social, functional, and aesthetics aspects and successfully achieve the overall concept of “engaging”.
Daylighting analysis proved that daylight integration of the space helps to reduce the energy cost as well as to reinforce the positive psychological impacts of daylighting, and at the same time provide different lighting variations for artworks viewing
Cogeneration feasibility analysis set the first step to establish a successful combined heat and power system and to install a reliable energy source for the project. Electrical system type conversion based on the CHP implementation will greatly reduce the cost associated.
