LUNCH BOX? GENIUS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN? ART MUSEUM? In Austin, the Blanton Museum of Art isn't just any art stash; it's the city's creative crown jewel. Picture it: over 21,000 masterpieces, ranging from ancient Greek pottery, to abstract expressionism that'll make you tilt your head and ponder. It's not just a museum; it's a cultural powerhouse with a knack for the extraordinary. __________ Torque Real Estate Marketing TORQUE is a real estate marketing agency bringing insight and awareness to the emergence of human experience, properties and the community. #austinrealestate #office #commercialrealestate #architecture #realestate #realestateindustry #marketingagency #realestatemarketing #marketingagency 

What fabulous architecture and interiors. These images are so inspiring. Full of intricate details.

The project is based on the design of a Regional Museum. It is intended to be a space for recreation and culture for the Mexican citizen with the focus of offering a warm and dynamic tour where visitors enjoy having an experience of encounter with landscape design and regional culture through the exhibitions of the museum, the use of its green areas and distribution of buildings.

GRAND RAPIDS ART MUSEUM GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, USA (1983) https://lnkd.in/esSAhwYC This proposal revitalizes the city's downtown area by reusing a distinguished, but now vacant, former government building and by adapting a number of abandoned or underused neighboring structures for additional cultural functions. The main 1908 Beaux-Arts building is upgraded to meet codes and programmatic requirements. A relocation of the entrance from the closed side of the U-shaped building to the open court-yard establishes a direct physical relationship between the museum and its surroundings while creating a single, unified entrance. Covering the court-yard, a translucent inclined plane of stairs has an opening at its center that leads to the Grand Foyer which is a shared space for the different departments. Water descends slowly and evenly from the top of the stairway along a channel carved into the plane, leaving a clear pedestrian path for those walking up the stairs. This water is, in fact, the very water used for the air-conditioning system. In this way, the need for an unsightly cooling tower has been eliminated and this silent cascade becomes the focal point of the city's newest public space.

From California.com: Street art in Los Angeles transcends the traditional gallery space, bringing art to the public in a way that is accessible and unmediated. This democratization of art allows for a unique intersection of voices, from renowned international artists to local creatives, each contributing to the city's visual narrative. The murals, graffiti, and installations that adorn L.A.'s urban landscape are more than mere aesthetics; they are stories told on the canvas of the city itself, reflecting the dreams, struggles, and resilience of its inhabitants. The cultural significance of L.A.'s street art can be traced back to the Chicano Art Movement of the 1960s and 70s, where murals became a form of political expression and cultural affirmation for the Mexican-American community. Today, this tradition continues as street art addresses a plethora of themes, from social justice and environmental concerns to the celebration of cultural heritage and personal identity.

The #architecturaldesign of this #building is just as artistic as the artwork the structure houses.

I value how this show innovatively highlights the physical relationship to interior design.
