Abstract:
The new Princeton University Art Museum, with its precast, ribbed concrete walls, includes nine bunker-like, interconnected pavilions with deep cantilevers and corners that have been shaved off to reveal the aggregate of the concrete. The brutalist vault of a building offers twice the floor space and provides a cultural gateway to the university campus.
