Twinsanity02 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) This area is going through an amazing expansion. Is the Glassel School of Art a part of the MFAH or a separate entity?

rechlin Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Another photo update, this time from a moving bus. I noticed that the dozens of signs on the fence that used to say "Opening 2019" have had the "19" cut out, so presumably this is behind schedule and not opening until 2020. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I imagine once the main construction on the structure and roof is finished and the building is airtight they will start on the interiors which is where any restaurant would go. It's construction is probably several months or longer off. 40 minutes ago, marstrose said: Do we know if the construction on the restaurant has started? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talltexan83 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Walked around the Glassell building this past weekend......and the greenery/vines on the sloped part of the building does not appear to be thriving. Well, it mostly looks dead. I'm guessing they may want to re-plant for spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me they plan on cladding that raw concrete with something. Given the many examples of how concrete ages, anyone who commissions, designs or constructs a raw-concrete façade is guilty of aesthetic malpractice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the renderings it looks like it will probably some kind of custom metal panel rain screen system. This would also give them enough room/space to add lighting within the screen itself giving it that "glowing" look they had in the nighttime render. Looked like the interior lobby spaces would be concrete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the MFAH website, mfah.org, the building will have the following features: “• Gathered under a “luminous canopy” roof, the concave curves reference the billowing clouds that fill the “big sky” of Texas• Vertical, translucent-glass tubes cladding the facades• Two floors and 54,000 square feet of galleries circling a three-level atrium space, with the distinctive roof allowing natural light to flood the central spaces• The 202-seat Lynn and Oscar Wyatt Theater; a restaurant; and a café• Seven gardens and six reflecting pools inset along the building’s perimeter” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) When I thought about tubes I remembered the facade at the Dallas Center for Performing Arts. Found these on google images. The difference is that they used aluminum tubes. Ours will be glass and glow at night. It probably won't look exactly like this, but this is a good base to set expectations for now.
