Architect: John Pawson
The MFAH’s program includes 240,000 sf structure that hosts permanent collection of modern and contemporary art. The building is a synthesis of Holl’s revisited program and the trapezoidal site of the Museum District. Porisity and light continue to be the central theme for Steven Holl in this building, emphasized by the use of translucent glass tubes for cladding. The assembly could reduce cooling requirements by 40 percents, according to Kendall/ Heaton Associates. While the exterior pays tribute to Mies, the interior natural lighting is inspired by Louis Kahn’s Kimbell Art Museum, but “more organic, more dynamic – like the clouds.” Architectural Records
