史密斯大学布朗艺术中心
新的布朗艺术中心不仅确立了史密斯校园内艺术学系的重要地位，同时也为校园本身打造了一个新门户。
For the architect of a transformational project, the opportunity to create a new life out of an old one is like discovering an architectural fountain of youth. There is a kind of reassurance in utilizing the past to create a future, particularly when it is appropriate to substitute new imagery for old.
设计将始建于20世纪70年代的艺术博物馆、艺术和艺术史科系及艺术图书馆三合为一，剔去其钢梁后彻底重建，并将整个综合性建筑面积扩至38,000平方英尺。
在这座配有国家先进设备的新建筑内，一个封闭的40英尺高明亮中庭取代了原有经风吹雨晒的外部庭院。
这种新的内联体结构整合统一了艺术中心的三大主要板块，并为学生、教师、博物馆工作人员及游客开拓了一个全新的团体互动空间。
细腻地面砖墙与带铝制遮阳板的大面积玻璃构成了建筑的整体立面。建筑选材以砖、锌、玻璃和金属为主，进而加强了建筑质地与周边环境人文历史的联系。
