Meier looks back with model museum

For architecture enthusiasts looking to see famed works by starchitect
Richard Meier on a small scale, the Model Museum in Long Island City
may present the perfect opportunity. Meier, who designed the Getty
Center in Los Angeles, told Wallpaper magazine in a sit-down interview
that the center is “great for students to come so they can see what’s
involved in doing projects at this kind of scale. They come from all
over the world and are fascinated.” The museum, which is open on
Fridays by appointment only, includes models of both completed projects
and those that never materialized. “In the back there are lots of old
models of different small projects,” Meier said. “It’s interesting to
me because it gives a kind of remembrance.” [Wallpaper]
