	Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden is an art museum located in Washington, DC on the National Mall and designed by architect Gordon Bunshaft.
		The building is essentially an open cylinder elevated by four massive "legs", with a large fountain occupying the central courtyard.
		The Smithsonian staff reportedly told Gordon Bunshaft, prior to designing the building, that if it did not provide a striking contrast to everything else in the city, then it would be unfit for housing a modern art collection.

	Gordon Bunshaft
		The International Style, characterized by its use of modern materials that enabled large buildings to be constructed with a strong skeleton covered by a light exterior skin, valued simplicity, flexibility and regularity in design.
		Gordon Bunshaft is undoubtedly one of the most highly respected and influential architects in America; his buildings are better known, however, than is his name.
		While Bunshaft's earlier work exemplified steel and glass as "the natural building materials in this country," his later buildings, beginning with the Banque Lambert in Brussels and continuing with the Beinecke and Johnson libraries, made use of pre-stressed concrete, allowing for greater freedom of shape.

		Built in 1962 as Bunshaft's home, Travertine House was a symmetrical, single-story structure 26 feet wide by 100 feet long that balanced stone-walled pavilions on either side of a central glass-walled core.
		Incorporating double-T pre-stressed concrete roof panels also employed in Bunshaft's Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C. (1974), the house was designed to display his significant collection of modern art, which included works by Giacometti, Dubuffet, and Miro, situated throughout the house's interior and 2.4-acre grounds.
		Travertine was "an important Modernist house, unique in Bunshaft's career," says architecture critic Paul Goldberger, who points out that it was a notable design even by the standards of the architecturally distinguished Georgica Pond area of the Hamptons, on Long Island.

		The scheme, which won an Honorable Mention, derived from Impington Village College (1936–9) by Walter Gropius and E. Maxwell Fry in Cambs, England, and the Bunshaft and Green design confirmed their acceptance of the International Style idiom.
		Bunshaft was thus among the first American architects to embrace European Modernism, but unlike others, such as Edward Durrell Stone, Philip Johnson and Eero Saarinen, he never rejected its machine-age imperatives.
		More pragmatic and vernacular in his approach, he never entered the arena of architectural theory, history or criticism.

		For me, a Californian who grew up in a builder ranch house, the floor plan of the Bunshaft house, as it appeared in Architectural Record Houses of 1966, challenged the whole concept of what a house was.
		Sensitively, instead of turning all the views to the water, Bunshaft had oriented the two bedrooms out to the landscape, because all water all the time would have been too much.
		He had masterfully translated the large scale of his experience as design partner at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill into a house of less than 3,000 square feet.
