some of you may remember sticia tooth's 5th year studio project to design a relocated (or not?) barnes foundation in philadelphia. well, that project happened irl, and the design, by architects william + tsien, has been completed. check out the nytimes review and slideshow featuring some pretty poopy renderings of this controversial project.

Barnes, but also because it threatened to dismantle a relationship among art, architecture and landscape that was critical to the Barnes’s success as a museum."
