Synopsis
This sleek monograph documents the design and construction of a new wing in one of the world's finest museums. Founded in 1870, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is not just an impressive museum - it is also housed in one of America's most distinguished buildings. When it was time to add an extension to accommodate the museum's holdings, Foster + Partners conceived of a brilliant strategy, one that reinforced the logic of the original Beaux-Arts footprint while adding a few neo-modernist twists such as the insertion of a freestanding glazed structure between the building's two principal spaces. This crystal spine encloses an existing courtyard in a glass jewel box, which creates spaces for visitor orientation and a café and leads to the new Art of the Americas wing. This book provides a detailed history of the 120,000-square-foot project, from the museum's founding to the triumphant unveiling of the new wing. 80 colour 10 b/w, Founded in 1870, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is not just an impressive museum--it is also housed in one of America's most distinguished buildings.

- o***b (530)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem price was nice and the shipping was fast. The item as well was properly packaged but the condition was in way worse condition than listed probably was an honest mistake so I won’t blame them I’ve ordered from them before and they didn’t fail me then but this time was a dud. BUT they did refund me immediately no questions asked so that was a plus and a sign in my book of great customer service. Aside from my small issue with the items condition which was resolved quickly I had no problem A++El Sexto Sentido (CD + DVD) (#134971137986)
- c***r (555)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseMost importantly, the condition of the book was as specified. Also, international delivery (from the USA to the UK) was prompt, and the price was reasonable for an out-of-print book. Many thanks for that. In regards to the book packaging, although no cardboard was used, reasonably effective packaging (a "bubble mailer", plus multiple layers of "soft" packaging) was still implemented to protect the book during its international transit. Many thanks for that.

Lucky it arrived in good condition without being in a box, I think the bit of foam worked some magic! THANKS for a great item at a great price!
