The Berkeley Art Museum, a Modernist Landmark, is Reengineered and Redesigned

In case you were wondering how the Berkeley Art Museum, a Brutalist structure close to Northern California’s Hayward Fault, was converted into a new state-of-the-art incubator lab, a simple answer can be found in the Bakar BioEnginuity Hub’s new logo (by design firm twoxfour), on which an abstraction of the building’s unusual radial floor plan hugs the new name. Design, engineering, and donations; that’s the answer.
