editor Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 The expansion of the Kimbell Museum in Fort Worth is starting:http://archrecord.construction.com/yb/ar/article.aspx?story_id=151190061The pastoral lawns around the Kimbell Art Museum are surrounded by signs of construction. Postholes are being dug, trees have been tagged for removal, construction trailers are taking up residence on the Darnell Street parking lot, and the sidewalks are striped in orange and pink spray paint marking utility lines.Work is about to begin on the $125 million addition designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano.Renzo Piano did the recently-opened expansion of the Art Institute of Chicago, too. Hopefully Fort Worth will fare better. The modern wing in Chicago is widely regarded as something between a nightmare and a disaster. It's very pretty, but functionally, it just doesn't work.
