The Broad Museum

The Broad is a contemporary art museum in Los Angeles, CA, designed by architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler and structural engineering firm Leslie E. Robertson Associates. The building design is based on the concept of “the veil and the vault”. “The veil” is a porous envelope that wraps the whole building, filtering and transmitting light to indoor spaces. The skin is made of 2,500 rhomboidal fiberglass reinforced concrete panels supported by a steel substructure. “The vault” is a concrete structure that forms the building's core, dedicated to artwork storage, laboratories, curatorial spaces, and offices.
