MURAL MUSEUM
DESIGNER
Schematic Design, Design Development Ongoing.
A modern barn addition to the Rufus Porter Museum, dedicated to the eponymous inventor, muralist, and Scientific American founder. The new building will anchor the campus with indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and galleries that display early 19th century murals by Rufus Porter, which were rescued from two home demolitions in Maine. The new structure links buildings from 1840 and 1790 and pays homage to their history, in its massing, contours, and fenestration.
