The Broad
Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler
The Broad is a museum of contemporary art located in
Downtown Los Angeles. It was designed then built in 2015 by Diller Scofidio and
Renfo in collaboration with Gensler.
The building is composed of two
main elements: the central concrete piece and the outside structural panelised
system. Those two elements are called “the veil and the vault”
The envelope, the veil is composed by a
panelized system that covers a block long distance. The panel modules are
porous and allows the filtered natural light all around the interior space of
the museum.
The structural panels are made out of
glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC). It is a type of fiber-reinforced
concrete. The material is very resistant under compression and more less heavy
than basic concrete panels.
