Synopsis
This sleek monograph documents the design and construction of a new wing in one of the world's finest museums. Founded in 1870, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is not just an impressive museum - it is also housed in one of America's most distinguished buildings. When it was time to add an extension to accommodate the museum's holdings, Foster + Partners conceived of a brilliant strategy, one that reinforced the logic of the original Beaux-Arts footprint while adding a few neo-modernist twists such as the insertion of a freestanding glazed structure between the building's two principal spaces. This crystal spine encloses an existing courtyard in a glass jewel box, which creates spaces for visitor orientation and a café and leads to the new Art of the Americas wing. This book provides a detailed history of the 120,000-square-foot project, from the museum's founding to the triumphant unveiling of the new wing. 80 colour 10 b/w, Founded in 1870, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is not just an impressive museum--it is also housed in one of America's most distinguished buildings.

- 8***g (350)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI ordered this item as new from this seller on eBay. What I received was not a new item and it was not from eBay, this seller clearly didn’t have the item I bought and they just ordered it on Amazon. If I wanted to give my money to Amazon and buy a resealed item uncharged as “new” when it wasn’t, I would have bought from Amazon myself. Really shocked to see such blatant fraud on such an old seller account with such a high rating.
