Culture Architecture

Climate as the protagonist of an open structure

A building that breathes

Poetic charm of black bricks

A perfect acoustic instrument in its case

A giant dragon rising from the water

To inherit the campus atmosphere of art and life

A museum based on the circle element

Xi’an welcomes its new cultural landmark

Between land and sea, between living garden, belvedere and sky, between mineral and organic

Repeating roof ridges and diagonal grid pattern

A hidden cave with its own time and narrative space

Sunlight filtered by a concave glass steel structure covered in zinc, and the contrast between textured wood and raw concrete walls

Steven Holl Architects and McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. celebrated the topping out of the new Nancy and Rich Kinder Building for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

By juxtaposing and stacking a series of cylinders, the design gives birth to a free flow of the interior and exterior spaces

A ‘free space’ built against the backdrop of a natural landscape

An armadillo in knight’s armour

Red volcanic stone and white concrete

A visual reminder to citizens on CO2 consumption
