A CONVERSATION BETWEEN NEW & OLD EVOKING THE KIMBELL ART MUSEUM
“Renzo Piano’s addition to Louis Kahn’s celebrated museum is a study in careful deference...Piano yields pride of place to the master.” Witold Rybczynski, Design Critic
“The pavilion was designed to evoke the original structure both architecturally and structurally while establishing its own unique identity. The two buildings together define a vision of excellence as creative as the artwork that each displays.” Guy Nordenson and Associates, Structural Engineer
