HARVARD'S PIANO
June 8, 2010
It's not often that an old building gets knocked down in Cambridge, so we snapped a corner of the old Fogg Art Museum as it bit the dust a few days ago. It's part of a 104k SF historic renovation and 100k SF of new construction that will be the Harvard Art Museum designed by Renzo Piano. The three-year construction project started in January will bring together the collections of the Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Arthur M. Sackler museums. A glass-enclosed structure on top will house centers for conservation and study of the collections by scholars and the public. The local architect is Payette, with Skanska as general contractor. |
Come by this block (Broadway and Prescott) in 2013, and here's what you'll see, minus the translucent people. They were taken from a ghost town. |
