The Nasher Sculpture Center of Dallas was supposed to revitalize the culture of the city and bring economic boom to the surrounding areas. So much, in fact that a large condominium complex was built next door. No problem right?
Well, that would be the case if the museum wasn't specifically designed for the site. Or if it wasn't designed with specific natural lighting in mind. Or if it wasn't housing art, which requires some good light to view. Or if the accompanying condo building wasn't covered in a mirror. Unfortunately, all those come into play here and the organizers, designers, owners and city officials are scrambling to find a solution. Take a look.
