BIG architects' winning proposal for the new kimball art centre

International architecture practice BIG architects have designed the winning proposal for the new kimball art centre in park city, utah, USA.


The nonprofit community art center first began in 1976, whereby the local community transformed the kimball brother's garage into what is today's kimball art centre.

The new facility is designed to balance the neutrality of an exhibition space with the distinctiveness of a building in park city's unique context, while also addressing the contemporary through industrial vernacular, recalling the architecture of park city's mining heritage.

 
The new kimball arts centre will take advantage of its location's climate, and will employ the natural properties of its construction materials, composed of massive stacked timber elements. generous skylights and large ribbon windows will flood the structure's interior with diffused light, while a solar hot water installation on the existing roof - together with ground source - will provide close to all of the heating requirements.
