Description :

"The graceful Quadracci Pavilion is a sculptural, postmodern addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum completed in 2001, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava...The 142,050-square-foot Quadracci Pavilion was planned to primarily contain public spaces—a reception hall, auditorium, café, store, and parking, plus 10,000 square feet of flexible space for temporary exhibitions. Calatrava later said, “I had clients who truly wanted from me the best architecture that I could do. Their ambition was to create something exceptional for their community…. Thanks to them, this project responds to the culture of the lake: the sailboats, the weather, the sense of motion and change.” " [Milwaukee Art Museum: museum info website] |

Notes :

First Santiago Calatrava-designed building in the United States.
The reception hall has a 90-foot ceiling.
Approximately 20,000 cubic yards of concrete were used in the construction of the pavilion.
The structural mast is 198 ft. long and leans at a 41.64 degree angle.
The Burke Brise Soleil, the movable, wing-like sun screen comprised of 72 steel fins, is raised and lowered to control both temperature and light in the structure. The fins range in length from 26 to 105 ft., with a wingspan of 217 ft. at its widest point.
The cable-stayed pedestrian bridge is 280 feet long. |
