Akron Art Museum

The Akron Art Museum is located in Ohio and was designed by the Coop Himmelb(l)au firm. The design team believed that the museum of today is not solely seen as an institution, rather a urban concept. The unique nature continues to hold true for the firm. The building is broken down into three different pieces. The Crystal serves as the entry way, which operates as a connection to new and old buildings. The Gallery Box is an expansive space with a low number of columns that makes the area flexible for various exhibitions. The Roof Cloud hovers over the space and catches the eye immediately at first glance. It is obvious that the firm of Coop Himmelb(l)au enjoys designing spaces with unique shapes, glass, and texture to create more eye appeal for the consumer.
