Rooftop Sculpture Garden Competition
Private, invited competition with six other Northern California firms (JanuaryApril 2006)
The new rooftop sculpture garden is a seamless extension of the museum’s art promenade. The fifth floor gallery opens and unfolds onto the rooftop of the adjacent parking garage. The new ground plane and surrounding walls of the sculpture garden externalize the white walls and open exhibition spaces of the museum. Large zones of flexible display, where art is the organizing principle, set the viewing context.
The space of the fifth floor gallery projects into the new sculpture garden, both expanding the existing exhibition space and creating a new interior/exterior space. Defined by a cantilevered glass clad roof volume, this new flexible exhibition space exists at the crossing between gallery and sculpture garden. Sliding glass walls and solid panels provide environmental controls and variable conditions for the display of art.
