Tacoma Art Museum – Sun Screens

Olson Kundig

The new galleries at the Tacoma Art Museum stretch along Pacific Avenue for greater pedestrian engagement and are characterized by its pedestrian scale and details, including a set of three sliding sun screens. The 16-feet-wide-by-17-feet-tall screens, operated by a hand-wheel, roll like box car doors across the façade and nest together enabling the museum to control the amount natural light admitted to the building.
