Specifically designed for changing exhibitions, this space can accommodate massive contemporary works of art as well as traveling shows of national prominence. The color shown here was chosen by Dale Chihuly specifically for his site specific installation in the new space. <br><br>WARREN JAGGER PHOTOGRAPHY, 2008/COURTESY OF RISD MUSEUM OF ART <br></font> http://apps.risd.edu/ngallery/albums/albums/232/4.aspx Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:49:48 GMT <font face="Arial" size="2">Designed by Pritzker-Prize winning architect Rafael Moneo to fit on a site bordered on three sides by historic buildings (shown in these views), The Chace Center is the only contemporary example of a building by an architect of this stature and international prominence in Providence. The building features a façade that includes both clear and acid-etched glass complemented by red brick. The horizontal courses of glass are accentuated by aluminum fins at the corners of the building, giving the glass upward motion. The placement of the windows on the North face is composed in a Mondrian-like effect that distinguishes each floor through their shifting pattern. The low iron, "water clear" glass is backed by a mirrored surface and acid etched on the outer face to give it a silvery look. Built in coves, the clear glass windows bisect floors at interesting heights and depths, creating both unusual views into galleries and out to the surrounding city streets. UV-shielding gallery windows allow the use of natural light while still protecting artwork. The horizontal band of brick, monolithic in tone due to the matching-colored mortar, appears to both anchor the building and float between the plate glass of the store front below and the mercurial glass façade above. The brick references traditional materials of the Providence city-scape, yet is distinguished from them by intense color.<br><br>WARREN JAGGER PHOTOGRAPHY, 2008/COURTESY OF RISD MUSEUM OF ART <br></font> http://apps.risd.edu/ngallery/albums/albums/232/5.aspx Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:49:50 GMT <font face="Arial" size="2">The Museum's Minskoff Center for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs will be located on the building's fourth floor, a space specifically designed to preserve one of the Museum's most-used and largest collection while creating greater opportunities for students to study these works of art. <br><br>WARREN JAGGER PHOTOGRAPHY, 2008/COURTESY OF RISD MUSEUM OF ART <br></font> http://apps.risd.edu/ngallery/albums/albums/232/6.aspx Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:49:52 GMT <font face="Arial" size="2">The Chace Center Lobby (2,070 sf) welcomes visitors into both the Chace Center and to the new Museum wing.
