Tadao Ando to Design Art Museum Inside Historic Domed Structure in Paris
Renowned art collector François Pinault has revealed plans for a ?completely circular museum? that will be located within a 19th century, domed structure that once housed the Parisian Stock Exchange. To accomplish this, Pinault has enlisted the services of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando, whose design calls for the construction of a giant concrete cylinder located directly below the building?s soaring rotunda.

Ando?s scheme comprises five floors, including three levels of gallery spaces, a black-box theater, a restaurant and a below-ground auditorium within the concrete structure, spaced away from the existing walls to create a circulation corridor. Approximately 9,800 square feet of new gallery spaces will house pieces from Pinault?s vast contemporary art collection, including works by Mark Rothko and Damien Hirst.
