@studiogang), the museum extension is designed to reference the caves and canyons of the American Southwest.
The building's organic cavernous forms were created with engineering firm Arup using a technique called shotcrete. This method for pouring concrete foundations sprays wet concrete over rebar cages to create custom non-repetitive forms. This building technique was also used during the construction of the city's subway system.
