NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE (2A CASE STUDY)

Our objective was to select a building with an interesting facade and research its materials, structure, and facade. All the models found below were created with Revit and Lumion Pro Student.

​

The building is mainly comprised of steel trusses (50mm horizontal, 300mm vertical), 4 central concrete columns, 1200mm x 875mm aluminum panels, and the 3 trapezoidal tiers that were inspired from a crown on the Yoruban Caryatid.
