The Menil Collection - Houston, Texas

May 30, 2016

The Menil Collection by Renzo Piano is a museum that asks,  "what is more important to art than proper light and space?"  The ingenious concrete louver system that hangs above the building pours natural light into the galleries, allowing you to appreciate the art and space in natural light.  As clouds pass above the museum, the gallery dims, allowing you to further appreciate the quality of light.

The form of the louvers was inspired by a cross sectional study of flower petals, and they were constructed in a massive UK  ship yard with modern boat building techniques.
