- Summary
- The Walker Art Center recently opened its expanded space, which includes a new theater, a new restaurant, and more galleries, but is best known for being Herzog & de Meuron's first public building in the United States. The project drew national coverage from media including "The New York Times. Expanding the Center" caters to and piques public interest in the building with a generous selection of images, including sketches, renderings, and photographs of the construction process and the completed work.
