To create a dialogue between the new and the original structure, the project by the Foster studio proposes an information point that flows into one of the glass courtyards to strengthen the central axis of the building which runs north/south (Huntington Avenue/Fenway), and to add a glass spine which runs east/west.
Plans are for the construction of an underground car park, another glass courtyard and a study centre in the far west of the building during the second phase of the project. So when will it be finished? The director of the Museum, Malcom Rogers, doesn’t hide the fact that this depends largely on finding the necessary funds – 425 million dollars – and that around 5 years will be needed to finish the first phase.

Windows become frames that narrate the space
A home filled with peace, built with a few essential gestures and a palette of materials in harmony with the surrounding landscape. The anthracite-colored windows by Edilpiù take center stage in this visual narrative.
