Aspen Art Museum

A screened museum whose visitor route begins at roof level.

The project, in context

Shigeru Ban’s museum sends visitors up to a mountain-facing terrace before they descend through the galleries. A woven wood-veneer screen and timber roof structure define the building; CCY served as architect of record.
