Rose Center Glass Cube, American Museum of Natural History

The glass cube was envisioned as a transparent enclosure for the new planetarium, an iconic sphere, at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

TriPyramid collaborated with the architects and structural engineer from the earliest design phases to develop the glass support system and all associated details. TriPyramid worked with the glazing contractors to manufacture and supply all the horizontal stainless steel rod trusses, anchorage castings, and vertical support rods that fix the low iron glass to the primary vertical steel pipe trusses. The steel pipe trusses are by others.
