This
new museum encompasses approximately 33,000 square meters
of gallery space, library, public areas, maintenance,
dining, storage and support areas. This building is
one of only a few in the world designed using a canvas-like
material. This project presented many engineering challenges,
including the design of an air conditioning system that
can maintain proper temperature and humidity to preserve
sensitive artwork and manuscripts. The museum will has
two levels. MEP spaces and service corridors will be
located along the perimeter to allow for changes to
specific galleries while maintaining the remaining galleries
open to the public. An emergency generator will be provided
to support art storage areas and selected galleries
displaying artwork.
