🏛️🎨 SFMOMA Expansion by Snøhetta: Where Art Meets Architecture 🎨🏛️

🌉 Reimagining Contemporary Art 🌉 In the heart of SF, a landmark museum just got a futuristic facelift 👽! Snøhetta’s striped addition towers behind Mario Botta’s 1995 postmodern brick beast, tripling the gallery space 📈. 📐 By the Numbers: 235,000 sq ft (21,832 m²) of fresh art real estate 🖼️ 7 floors of galleries + 3 admin levels 🏢 Perched above Botta’s boxy red-brick design 🧱 🌊 Design Inspiration: The east facade rocks 700+ fiber-reinforced polymer panels 🌀—rippled like SF Bay’s waves, fog, and tides 🌫️. From the west? It looks like the expansion’s hitching a ride on Botta’s roof 🚀😜. 📸 Architectural Drama: 🌫️ Facade Details: Textured panels = Bay Area vibes 🌉 🎭 Space Play: Old meets new—brutalism vs. curves 🔄 🌇 Roofdeck Views: Skyline + bay = Instagram gold 📸 #MuseumGoals #SFArchitecture #ModernArtVibes 🎨🏙️
