Half Dose #2: Bellingham Museum

Ok, I didn't like the title "Partial Dose," so I've changed it to the more appropriate "Half Dose." Regardless of the name, here's the second installment:



From the Bellingham Herald: "A jury has selected Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects of Seattle to design a new art and children's museum planned for downtown Bellingham. The winner was announced Jan. 29."

While the museum is new, it will be an addition to the Whatcom Museum of History & Art; a new courtyard is oriented toward the existing building a couple blocks away.

The design's signature is the curved wall that defines an edge of the courtyard. The wall is envisioned as a translucent material that admits daylight during the day but can be used as a surface to project images upon - and achieve other lighting effects - at night.
