Herzog & de Meuron expand Minneapolis's WALKER ART CENTER with quirky new volumes spun from the original building's tight spiral.

The article presents information on the expansion of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The expansion was carried out by architectural firm Herzog and de Meuron. A series of four skewed, box like structures, embedded in a broad glassy passageway, now extend up the hill from the Barnes building. In spinning off from the Barnes building, the new volumes take the original notions of geometry and surface into a whole other realm. Galleries occupy two of the other new boxes, and the loading dock a third one.
