- Area : 83000 ft²
Text description provided by the architects. The building was designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, known for such projects as the High Line elevated park in New York; The Broad museum in Los Angeles; and the Institute for Contemporary Fine art, Boston. Located at the intersection of Oxford and Eye Streets, directly across from the UC Berkeley campus, the new BAMPFA will provide exemplary spaces for exhibitions and motion-picture show screenings, and admission to BAMPFA's historic and gimmicky collections of art and film. The new edifice will serve as the visual arts center of the University and a destination for fine art and film lovers—students, local residents, and visitors from around the earth.
The new BAMPFA integrates the 48,000-square-foot Art Deco–style former UC Berkeley printing plant with a 35,000-square-foot new construction.
Visitors will enjoy 2 film theaters (with 232 seats and 33 seats, respectively), a performance forum, four study centers for art and film, a reading room, an art-making lab, a buffet, and an outdoor LED screen and viewing plaza. With its presentation of over four hundred picture screenings and up to twenty fine art exhibitions annually, too as an extensive schedule of public programs and performances, BAMPFA will ballast Berkeley's downtown arts district.
The versatile exhibition galleries will accommodate an encyclopedic range of artwork. The primary picture theater is equipped with state-of-the-fine art project for all pop formats— including DCP, 35mm, and 16mm—highly sophisticated acoustics, and a globe-form sound arrangement from Meyer Sound.
Compages
BAMPFA selected world-renowned interdisciplinary design business firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro for the project because of its unique ability to connect institutions to wider urban and public contexts and its proven success in merging adaptive reuse of historic structures with dramatic new design in major urban cultural initiatives. DS+R'southward blueprint supports BAMPFA's mission and enhances its power to provide the community with infrequent art and picture experiences. "The new home for BAMPFA volition leverage its location betwixt downtown Berkeley and the UC campus by providing unprecedented visual and physical access to its programs for both visitors and casual passersby," states Charles Renfro, partner at DS+R. "BAMPFA volition get a new social and cultural hub for the unabridged region."
"The pattern merges the onetime and new to create a permeable interface betwixt the institution and the public," Renfro continues. "The supple body of the new structure, draped between the original 1930s orthogonal buildings and snagged on their abrupt corners, creates a dramatic public spine that begins as a cantilevered buffet marking the building'southward entrance, and culminates in an indoor theater on the other end of the site. The sculptural form of the theater volume reinterprets the 1930s Fine art Deco–style of the press edifice in a gimmicky linguistic communication of ruled surfaces and precision-formed stainless steel." Meanwhile the original northward-facing sawtooth roof of the printing plant is retained, providing indirect natural lite to the art galleries within. At the Addison Street end, the new construction is integrated with a big outdoor LED screen and plaza for public screenings.
