Spiral Reflection—The Guggenheim’s spiral gently ascends around the central void. To accentuate the experience of the geometric warping of space, we propose extending the spiral inward using reflective mylar. Stretched from the top and bottom of the guardrail toward the center of the void, a tensioned cable keeps the reflective membrane taut. The new spiral surface reflects the museum in its own geometry.
