The Nasher Sculpture Center

As a great fan of Renzo Piano I could not have been to the Nasher Sculpture Center without writing my experience about it. I am always amazed with the perfect details I have seen in Renzo’s work and this time what captured my attention was the modularity of these architectural spaces.
It is all about proportions and space. In the Nasher, the four naves linked with an outstanding roof are totally ,-lets say. And so on, the modularity on details.
This museum is so simple and perfect, that it might very well fit in the minimalism definition. It couldn’t have been another way; the art sculpture pieces couldn’t have fitted in another kind of spaces. The four naves are kind of a wall that you have to cross through to arrive into The Wonderland of sculpture. A virtual space located in between the street and the Garden. And through this Garden of Sculptures is where you discover art, landscaping and architecture merged in one space.
It’s incredible to feel the tranquility that this garden has. For me it was kind of Disney world where each sculpture transmitted me some kind of an amazing emotion. James Turrel sculpture was my favorite. It was literally like entering into another dimension: perfect weather, perfect sound. And, as view: the sky, only the sky. This was certainly a good experience for March 2009.
