Piano, who had been building art museums since 1977, was one of the most active and creative designers of these new buildings; though the requirements and the collections were often similar, he usually succeeded in giving each museum a distinct look and personality. The <a href="/wiki/Nasher_Sculpture_Center" title="Nasher Sculpture Center">Nasher Sculpture Center</a> in Dallas, Texas, was funded with 60 million dollars by Raymond Nasher, who had made a fortune in developing shopping centers, to display his collection of modern sculpture, which includes works by <a href="/wiki/Auguste_Rodin" title="Auguste Rodin">Auguste Rodin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Joan_Mir%C3%B3" title="Joan Miró">Joan Miró</a>, <a href="/wiki/Henri_Matisse" title="Henri Matisse">Henri Matisse</a> and <a href="/wiki/Alberto_Giacometti" title="Alberto Giacometti">Alberto Giacometti</a>. The building is very simple in form, like his early Menil Collection in Houston, Texas, and does not distract from the sculptures within; six walls of <a href="/wiki/Travertine" title="Travertine">travertine</a> marble with a glass ceiling that filters the light define five long galleries, while outside a sunken sculpture garden is placed four to five metres (13 to 16&#160;ft) below the street level, away sheltered from noise giving the appearance of an overgrown archeological excavation.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEJodidio201657_25-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJodidio201657-25"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Zentrum_Paul_Klee_(1999–2005)"><span id="Zentrum_Paul_Klee_.281999.E2.80.932005.29"></span>Zentrum Paul Klee (1999–2005)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Renzo_Piano&amp;action=edit&amp;section=19" title="Edit section: Zentrum Paul Klee (1999–2005)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Zentrum_Paul_Klee" title="Zentrum Paul Klee">Zentrum Paul Klee</a> near <a href="/wiki/Bern" title="Bern">Bern</a>, Switzerland (1999–2005), continued his series of art museums each very different from the others.

Both the new building and the original building are a gleaming white. A glass bridge with two levels connects the main pavilion with the original part of the museum. The careful management of external light is a particular feature of Piano's buildings; the High Museum Extension rows of curving fan-shaped panels on the facade and on the interior ceiling with filter the sunlight.

The facade of the building also harmonizes smoothly with the nearby turn-of-the-century greenhouse that is a landmark of the Park.

The glass roof of the top-floor galleries is supported on delicate steel trusses. Rows of white blades rest on top of the trusses to filter out strong southern light; thin fabric panels soften the view from below...

Piano created a dramatic new entrance for the museum, with huge windows showing the bright red furniture against the alabaster white walls within. The materials used in the new museum included light-colored concrete, to harmonize with the Kahn building, combined with beams and ceilings of Douglas fir, and floors of white oak and an abundance of double-paned and fritted glass. The museum also includes modern ecological features including a vegetal roof, photovoltaic cells on the roof, geothermal wells, and <a href="/wiki/LED" class="mw-redirect" title="LED">LED</a> lighting. Piano wrote: "Our building echoes the Kahn building through its height, its scale and its general plan, but our building has a character that is more transparent and more open.

Mark Lamster, architecture critic of the <i>Dallas Morning News</i>, wrote: "With its almost impossibly smooth walls and squared columns of titanium-treated concrete, Piano's front facade evinces a clinical, stoic perfectionism.... Altogether, the assembly is a minor miracle of construction. Most impressive are the beams: 100-foot-long bars of laminated Douglas fir, trucked from Canada.
