Abstract
The construction of a 70,000 sq ft extension to Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum brought both a modern aesthetic and much-needed additional space to the venue’s existing facilities for art and music. Previously crowded into the site’s signature building—a nearly 110-year-old structure patterned after a Venetian palace—the museum’s programs and functions have expanded into a new, steel-framed wing clad in glass and copper with a performance hall and a special exhibition gallery that seem to float in the air and an overall design that utilizes simple, smooth lines to mask complex engineering.
