2020 – The Broad on S Grand Ave in Los Angeles (Google Streetview)
The Broad is a contemporary art museum located on Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles. The museum is named for philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad, who financed the $140 million building which houses the Broad art collections. The museum offers free general admission to its permanent collection galleries. It opened since September 20, 2015.
The Broad is housed in a new building designed by architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro and structural engineering firm Leslie E. Robertson Associates. With a location adjacent to Frank Gehry’s iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall, the museum’s design is intended to contrast with its bright metallic perforated exterior while respecting its architectural presence by having a porous, “honeycomblike” exterior. The building design is based on a concept entitled “the veil and the vault”. “The veil” is a porous envelope that wraps the whole building, filtering and transmitting daylight to the indoor space. This skin is made of 2,500 rhomboidal panels made in fiberglass reinforced concrete supported by a 650-ton steel substructure. “The vault” is a concrete body which forms the core of the building, dedicated to artworks storage, laboratories, curatorial spaces and offices.
