Museum of the Big Bend in Big Bend, Texas, is a museum extension that blends seamlessly with the region’s rugged desert landscape. The structure features cantilevered forms and expansive glazing, offering visitors breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding terrain. Clad in weathered steel, the building responds to the harsh climate while echoing the natural hues of the environment.
