Look! New Museum Lamp

Have you been to the new New Museum yet? Though it is in easy walking distance from my apartment, I have not. I have long-admired the architecture of this unique building on the Bowery. And apparently, so has designer Sherwood Forlee. Disappointed that the building's shape did not light-up at night, he used the from from SANAA's design to produce a scaled-down lamp...

Very cool looking lamp.

Oddly enough, though, it's not lit, either!

Cool. Now, if they'd only celebrate Chicago's "Bean" in some similar way!

But I wonder how the architect feels about this "adaptation"?
