 Cranbrook Art Museum - Exhibitions - Raphael Moneo: Recent Architecture
Rafael Moneo has designed museums, cathedrals, concert halls and other major structures throughout Europe, the Middle East, Australia and the United States all of which embody a unique relationship between architecture and its surroundings.
Moneo’s approach can be summarized by two guiding principles: an awareness of place which recognizes the primacy of the landscape which outlives buildings and the people that inhabit them, and the active gaze whereby the building orients our attention to new and surpising vistas.
Rafael Moneo: Recent Architecture, 1990-2002 is generously sponsored at Cranbrook by Lila and Gilbert Silverman, with additional support from Keenie and Geoffrey Feiger and Jonathan Holtzman.

 GSD | José Rafael Moneo | Department of Architecture
Moneo wanted the unique, singular and non-repeatable character of the artist's work to find an appropriate atmosphere in the indefinable and broken condition of the gallery.
Hence, Moneo proposed to erect a building that would not violate the presence of the river in the city.
The auditorium and the congress hall, the key programmatic elements of the scheme, are conceived as separate autonomous volumes, as two gigantic rocks stranded at the mouth of the river forming part of the landscape rather than belonging to the city.

The building envisioned by Moneo - winner of the 1996 Pritzker Award, architecture's version of the Nobel Prize - promises to be a masterpiece.
Because the building hovers atop these pedestals, Moneo - the architect behind the Los Angeles Cathedral, renovations to the Prado in Madrid, and the Davis Art Museum at Wellesley College - avoided a top-heavy stone or brick design that might have been more in keeping with some of the older neo-Georgian structures nearby.
