    The Broad: Los Angeles, California

    Uploaded by

    Jayant raj
    The Broad is a contemporary art museum in Los Angeles designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro and built by philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad. It houses nearly 2,000 works from The Broad Art Foundation and the Broads' personal collections. The museum's design features a "veil" exoskeleton that filters daylight into galleries and a hovering "vault" that stores artworks. Visitors are funneled upward through a column-free gallery lit by a skylight-pierced roof and return downstairs via a twisting stair offering views of the vault. Special light cells in the ceiling and walls bring in natural light to illuminate the art indirectly without direct sunlight that could damage works.

    LIGHTING
    Art is usually kept away from direct sun light to prevent damage. But art shown under artificial light just
    looks different.  So The Broad employs a special architectural detail to show its art under perpetual
    indirect natural light.
    Each of the openings in the ceiling and on the side of the museum,  functions as a light cell, bringing in
    a small amount of natural light and casting it on a concrete surface.

    The light from many such small concrete surfaces then add up to a bright but indirect light for the
    interior. On the side of the museum, the light cells bring in the outdoor light with just glimpses of the
    outside world, instead of creating distractions to compete with the art. Source : gracioussty
