I’ve been poking around in the new Bloch Building again. Today was pretty quiet but that gave me time to capture some beautiful images of all the windows in the building.
On the ground level, most of the exterior is made of glass. Some of it is transparent to allow views into the Kansas City Sculpture Park and of the Nelson-Atkins Building, but most of it is translucent. Architect Steven Holl’s design creates soaring ceilings that let in ample amounts of light into the galleries below.
And then there is my favorite type of window, a store window! The new Museum Store on the lower level of the Bloch Building looks great. Wonderful books, unique lamps, gorgeous vases and other decorative items are just waiting for opening day next June 9.
