Portland Museum of Art Expansion | Portland

[Portlander]

Something to do or see for now, I guess as they are still capital raising for the expansion. I'm simply happy or happier now because Lever took over from that initial smaller Portland, OR design firm that was going to bore a giant hole into the Cobb facade,

TC, I am in total agreement with you and do not feel that the PMA's future expansion is doom and gloom. It may take a few years to get the project moving forward but the end result will add much needed gallery space and fill an empty lot and I was also not a fan of cutting a hole into the facade. I
really like these two angles of the exterior and am warming up to the overall design.

Is that the current intended design? It is pretty cool.

It is the latest iteration and it compliments the Payson building much better than I expected. Thanks to TC for adding the architects site.

I like the larger glassed-in connector at the rear, as opposed to the existing tiny conservatory where Dead Pearl Diver (and not much else) is laid to rest.

Almost seems like some design cues from the Roux Institute

Is this... finished?

 

[Portlander]

I think so, there were a bunch of strange looking seats scattered around inside the "venue" but the sun angle wasn't conducive to a photo.

Minimalism is the new idea at the PMA. Just use your imagination.

First priority: tear down 142 Free St. to render any further opposition moot!
