The Swiss firm of Herzog & de Meuron is responsible for the spectacular new addition to the Walker Art Center. (The original building was designed by 2007 Gold Medalist Edward Larrabee Barnes.) The most dramatic element to the new addition is a chunky, five-story building clad in crumpled aluminum that some have likened to a large block of ice.
