| 説明 | Built in 1904, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by Cass Gilbert as the Palace of Fine Arts for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, a World’s Fair. The building features a marble and buff roman brick exterior, with arched window bays, a front portico with corinthian columns, porticoes at the end bays of the front facade with ionic columns and pediments, a cornice with modillions and dentils, a central gabled roof with arched clerestory windows, decorative stone and gold sculptures, and doric pilasters. The building was extended with a southern addition in the late 20th Century, which features ribbon windows, a terraced massing, sloped glass skylights, and decorative patterned brickwork. The building was further expanded between 2009 and 2013 to the east with a new addition, designed by Sir David Chipperfield and HOK, which features a gridded concrete roof structure with multiple skylight apertures, glass curtain walls, precast polished concrete panels, reveals at the base, and large terraces, with the addition being designed so as to blend into the surrounding landscape and defer to the historic adjacent museum building. Today, the museum building is one of several remnants of the 1904 World’s Fair, and is one of many cultural amenities within Forest Park in St. Louis. |
