New Images from Nelson-Bloch Building

Interior and Architectural Photography of the Bloch Building at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

On Monday, I had an opportunity to shoot some interiors of the Bloch building at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. This building is a phenomenal structure designed by architect Steven Holl of Steven Holl Architects . The lighting and ambiance of the structure literally changes throughout the day with the rising, apex, and falling of the sun.

There are five “lenses” that were integrated into this new addition to the museum.

“Slender and elongated, the majority of the Bloch Building exists under ground along the east side of the original Nelson-Atkins Building. Rising from the building’s 840-foot expanse are five freestanding structures or “lenses” that emerge from the ground to create an undulating and varied interplay between architecture and landscape, especially within the Kansas City Sculpture Park.”

Below are a few images from Monday’s interior photography shoot. I will be posting other images on my website at www.JacksonVisuals.com early next week. Enjoy!
