Williams and tsien: Barnes Foundation

For Williams and Tsien’s next architectural work, I looked into the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, PA. The outside of the building is totally covered with large, white, square stones. This was accompanied by a reflecting pool that looked as if it was from the year 2035. The whole building had me asking myself, “is this how buildings will look in the future?” I say this because it looks a decade or two ahead of its time. I still can’t wrap my head around how the top section of the structure stuck out so much further than the bottom. The Barnes Foundation is truly ahead of its time, in my opinion.
