Museum's Focal Point Uses Meal

摘要

The 33 million dollars Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture, located in Baltimore, MD, has some unique design elements. The five-story, 82,000 sq. ft. project details the tribulations and triumphs of the African-American community in Maryland and their contributions to art, history and culture. This is reflected in the building's design. One of the museum's standout features is the 96'-high metal, curving Wall of Freedom a.k.a. Red Wall. The wall begins on the outside of the building, cuts through glass cur-tainwall and floor plates, and terminates about halfway into the museum, poking out of the roof and skylight. With a staircase placed beside it, the perforated aluminum plate wall guides visitors through the museum. The perforated material creates a translucent effect inside the main lobby.
