Made of powder-coated, unitized perforated-aluminum panels supported by a steel frame, this triangular structure defines a 1,740-square-foot Exhibition Court for potential outdoor works.                                 Photo © Jeff Goldberg / ESTO Axonometric Diagram with the new addition Image courtesy SHoP Architects Floor Plan Image courtesy SHoP Architects Floor Plan Image courtesy SHoP Architects Illuminated by LEDs sandwiched between the layers of aluminum panels—an installation designed to be dark-sky-friendly—this silvery marquee emits a friendly glow that welcomes passersby without causing light pollution.

The architects maintained the building’s stucco finish, painting it black, glazed the lobby entrance, and added the triangular perforated-aluminum prow. Now adjacent to a community park, and across the road from a farmer’s market and cultural/commercial center (in the former rail yard), SITE’s slightly gritty exterior echoes the building’s past with a contemporary edge.

Photo © Jeff Goldberg / ESTO Using a digital model, the design team devised the marquee or “prow” in close collaboration with the fabricator UAP Company. Photo © Jeff Goldberg / ESTO SHoP added 33 feet to the front of the building, adding 1,450 square feet and creating a generous multi-function lobby that houses a café and gift shop. Photo © Jeff Goldberg / ESTO Free to the public and open every day of the week, 360 days a year—along with the adjacent lobby café and gift shop—the newly expanded SITE Lab gallery, one of SITE’s now climate-controlled galleries, was about 1/5th the size of the 1,800 square feet it is today.

The doughnut-shaped canopy includes 3,000 square feet of digital signage.

Barclays Center Public spaces like the main entry atrium are arranged around the seating bowl to provide framed views inside. Barclays Center In the concourses, the metal deck of the structure over it has been painted black, making it disappear behind the subtly canted linear light fixtures that march down the length of the corridorlike spaces.
