Architecture: Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture by David Adjaye and FAB: “..Bronze plates will cover the tiered exterior of the building, perforated in patterns that reference the history of African American craftsmanship.. the museum will accommodate more than half of its volume below ground..” ”The design rests on three cornerstones: the “corona” shape and form of the building; the extension of the building out into the landscape – the porch; and the bronze filigree envelope.”..
