Building: Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art
Location: Bentonville, Arkansas
Architect: Moshe Safdie
Design Engineer: Buro Happold
Construction Firm: Linbeck
Completion: 2011

AE Interest:  The building exposes intricate details with the concrete structure that is very similar to those techniques implemented by Louis Kahn. The structure also exposes steel to help add the essence of artwork that surrounds it.
