Abstract:
The Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts in Little Rock, AR, USA, has a new folded plate concrete roofline which became the museum's signature architectural element. Built of thin concrete plates arranged in angular folds, the roof covers a series of pavilions branching out like flower stems-creating a glassed-in gathering space for visitors on one end and a dining terrace on the other.
