The design of the William
J. Clinton Presidential Center can be attributed to four
parties: the Polshek
Partnership for the building architecture, Ralph
Appelbuam Associates for the exhibition design, Hargreaves
Associates for the landscape architecture, and of course
Bill Clinton for being a visionary
client. When presidential libraries tend towards the traditional
and bombastic, Clinton opted for a restrained high-tech architecture,
with integrated exhibitions, the whole taking strides to intelligently
deal with its site, situated on the edge of the Arkansas River
near downtown Little Rock. |
