| 説明 | Built in 1923-1927, this Beaux Arts and Italian Renaissance Revival-style building was designed by Paul Philippe Cret and C. Howard Crane for the Detroit Institute of Art, founded in 1885, to replace the museum’s earlier building in Downtown that it had outgrown. The building is clad in rusticated marble cladding with a red terra cotta tile hipped roof and a cornice with modillions, three arched bays at the center of the front facade with ionic columns, and large interior courts, as well as a rear auditorium wing. The building was expanded in 1965-1971 with the addition of two wings to the north and south, originally designed by Gunnar Birkerts and formerly clad in dark granite, which were later renovated in 2007 under the direction of Michael Graves Associates and SmithGroup, completely renovating the additions and refacing them with white granite, as well as adding a glass roof above the formerly open-air Kresge Court within the original structure. The museum is a contributing structure in the Cultural Center Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Today, the museum contains one of the most significant collections of art in the United States, and is an anchor of the Cultural Center section of Midtown. |
