The CTF Museum, slated to open in mid-2019, is enveloped in hundreds of almost-30-foot-tall glass cylinders.
For the Manetti Shrem Museum at UC Davis, Brooklyn-based firm SO–IL (working with Bohlin Cywinski Jackson) designed a sweeping 50,000-square-foot steel canopy that produces a dramatic play of light and shadow. The firm likes to play with envelopes, whether it’s a 510,000-ring chainmail skin or simple stretched fabric. But for a new art museum in Hong Kong, SO–IL is taking a familiar architectural material—glass—and bending it to its literal limits.
