Project Narrative
Overview & Background
The Metropolitan Institute of Contemporary Arts is an architectural monument designed to showcase world-class traveling exhibits and acoustically sensitive live orchestral performances. DIV6 executed the complete parametric timber ceiling geometry and specialized museum casework throughout the facility.
Detailed Scope
Scope of Work & Assemblies
Fabrication and installation of 320 custom double-curved Douglas fir acoustic rib fins in the 600-seat performance hall, climate-controlled archival display vitrines for fragile antiquities, monolithic reception portals, and seamless zero-reveal gallery paneling.
Engineering Execution
Challenges & Engineered Solutions
Technical Challenges
The architect’s parametric ceiling design featured non-repeating compound radii with compound angles across each timber rib. Furthermore, the acoustic consultant required strict compliance with NC-15 background noise criteria and micro-tolerances for all mechanical penetrations.
Engineered Solutions
We utilized 5D Grasshopper algorithmic modeling to translate the design intent directly into 5-axis CNC machining code. Each timber rib was hollow-cored with acoustic rockwool insulation and mounted on vibration-isolated neoprene hangers, completing installation two weeks ahead of the inaugural gala opening.
