Bubble Popping Buildings

The Hirshhorn Museum Creates an Air of Lightness

I think the design of the Hirshhorn Museum is downright bubbly. Literally. And that’s a good thing, believe me or simply look at the gallery to see for yourself.

Designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the Hirshhorn Museum looks as though it s strangling an unsuspecting bubble tube, but the effect is nothing short of eye-catching. Costing about $5 Million dollars to perfect, it better be! For more info, visit TheDesignBlog.com.
