Expectations are always immense when adding to a famous work of architecture. This was certainly the case at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP), where Metro Arquitetos Associados was tasked with complementing the institution’s original building, designed by Lina Bo Bardi. To avoid competing for visual attention with the existing structure, Metro Arquitetos wrapped the new tower with a black aluminum screen, a choice that makes the extension practically vanish among the sea of towers along Avenida Paulista.
