* 아트 뮤지엄 [ Eskew+Dumez+Ripple ] ULL Art Museum

고전과 현대의 만남이 자연스럽게 이루어 지내요.
클래식한 아트뮤지엄과 조각정원을 자연스럽게 공유하면서 전면에는 현대적인 유리 파사드를 보여 주고 있어요.
프로그램은 로비를 중심으로 공용공간과 상설전시장 그리고 기획전시를 하는 갤러리로 크게 구성되어
있네요. 사무실과 부속실은 유기적으로 엮어져 있구요.
전면의 리니어한 파사드 안으로 열려 있는 로비공간은 2개층을 오픈하여 입구성을 강조하고 있어요.

Situated adjacent to the original 1967 University Art Museum (a replica of an antebellum plantation home designed by noted Louisiana architect A. Hays Town) this museum building serves as a backdrop to the original and defines the edge of a new sculpture garden and plaza. The program includes lobby and public spaces, permanent collection and changing exhibit galleries, museum offices, and art support and archive.

Conceived of as a tightly wrapped solid, the construction module of the new museum responds to the structural rhythm of the original building in order to develop a strong organizational structure for the entire newly developed site. The building’s glass façade hovers above visitors entering the museum, reflecting in its surface the existing Hays Town building and live oaks of the surrounding sculpture garden. Depending upon position and time of day, the glass façade oscillates between opaque and transparent, and at night is rendered in a deep blue light through the use of cold cathode tubes located above perforated metal ceilings, serving to contrast the new museum with its older adjacent neighbor.
