- And It's Going In Front of Louis Kahn's Original
"As anticipated, or dreaded, the Renzo Piano-designed facility is going to be built on the west lawn, directly in front of the existing building." But he's leaving 180 feet between them - and creating the sort of entrance Kahn wanted. "Kahn did not understand Texans' desire to park as closely as possible to a door, so almost all of the Kimbell's visitors enter by way of the parking lot and through what is ostensibly the garage door of the museum. Piano is going to fix that." Fort Worth Star-Telegram 11/18/08
