Warhol Entertainment

North Side, Pittsburgh, PA

Status: Un-Built

Building Type: Performance Venue

 

Area: 47,000 SF

To enhance The Andy Warhol Museum's role as a major cultural institution, the plan involves expanding its program offerings with new facilities that build on its iconic appeal. This expansion will introduce diverse spaces designed to generate revenue and broaden community outreach, while reflecting Warhol’s distinct aesthetic in their unique design.

​

The new event and mixed-use facility will be seamlessly integrated with the main museum across Sandusky Street, ensuring easy access and continuity with museum activities. The design will create a vibrant atmosphere, connecting its functions to the street and facilitating clear, convenient circulation between different levels and spaces. Key features will include gallery lobby, concert space, outreach studios, and an upper-level outdoor deck for hosting events.

​

Aligned with the development of the Pop District, the facility will unify its building, site, and surroundings. The design will incorporate Warhol’s concept of art contrasting with its environment, offering a backdrop that enhances the museum’s activities while embracing self-conscious irony. Emphasis will be placed on spatial volumes and connections, integrating indoor and outdoor experiences to complement and amplify Warhol’s unique artistic vision.
