The effects of the museum on the area and its development
has taken a backseat to its relationship to its neighbor,
the Pulitzer, a contemplative place to enjoy and study art,
which opened two years ago to much acclaim. Their similarities
are just as great as their differences, both in their missions
and architecture, though ultimately each finds a common goal
in the importance of cultural expression and its setting.
Since Ando's building preceded Allied Work's building, the
latter's designer, Brad Cloepfil, responded to the Japanese
master's work without mimesis nor contrast, but respect.
