기존 박물관과 새로운 증축공간을 연결하는 브릿지는
캠퍼스의 새로운 관문으로 도시의 다양한 컨텐츠를 수렴한다.
도시와 캠퍼스의 연결, 박물관과 증축공간과의 연결,
내외부의 연결, 예술과 상업과의 연결,
3층 높이에 설치된 밴드-브릿지-는 두개의 건축물을 감싸 안으며
다양한 연결을 적나라하게 표현한다. 이러한 건축은 기존 건축물에 사용된
재료-글래스, 노출콘크리트, 코르텐스틸-와 구분되는 형태미로
밴드를 심볼화한다.
특히 브릿지 내부에 계획된 갤러리 스페이스는 박물관의 공간적 흐름을
자연스럽게 새로운 증축공간, MALL에 연계함으로써 공간을 연속, 순환시킨다.
건축, 공간에서 연결, 확장이란 건축의 태생적 한계를 극복하는 중요한 수단이자
테마로 공간을 지배한다.

From the project’s earliest stages, the goal has been to create a strong
physical connection and sense of continuity from the existing museum to
the addition. Building on this initial concept, two other very
important relationships that have been a focus of the project are the
connection from outside to inside and from the addition’s entrance level
to its main gallery level.

The connection between the existing museum and the addition is a bridge
gallery at the third-floor level creating a strong physical connection
or continuous flow of gallery space from the existing building to the
new. The bridge and its exterior cladding/material construction are
being investigated to both unify the south façade of the Museum and
serve as a unique gateway to the campus.
In contrast to the third level’s continuous band, the first and second
levels are composed of a series of “boxes” that project and recede from
beneath it. Their material expressions are conceived to be distinct from
the third level, comprised of bronze/copper plate, board-formed
concrete, and glass. The addition’s façade aims to be far more
transparent and inviting to the public than its existing counterpart in
areas where it can afford to do so. As an example of this, the public
lobby consists of a large two-story glass volume that orients itself
towards what will be a significant courtyard space along a portion of
the East Campus Mall, making itself and the new museum entrance visible
from both the pedestrian mall and University Avenue.
The addition’s main public stair is centered in the lobby. Its orientation and openness create a strong relationship between the entry level and the main gallery level. The stair is formed by a continuous band of stone veneer, which is conceived of as a stone “carpet” running uninterrupted, climbing and folding to create, define, and connect a number of different exterior and interior elements and spaces. Copper-clad monitors make up the addition’s roof-scape and help bring natural light to all of the permanent galleries and the mezzanine gallery at the third level. They take their cues from the existing museum with respect to their aperture size and material choice; however, their form and technical construction are thought of in a new and innovative way.
