Crystal bridges was designed by Moshe Safdie and serves as Art museum funded by the Walton family in Arkansas. I had seen this place online and in pictures but it was not until I saw it in person that I was truly blown away. Even though this building was designed to hold art the building itself is art. Crystal Bridges is one of those buildings that feels like it almost grew out of the ground so fit the preexisting environment. I have always had a great appreciation for an architect that has the ability to blur the lines where the building meets the ground, and Safdie did just that. even when you walk in to the building you feel like the outside is invited in not cut off at the threshold. However, my favorite thing was by far how the natural lighting was manipulated. The museum is full of clever lighting solutions that direct and soften light to best present the art in the building.
