Contract - June 2016 - 96

The Yale Center for British Art
(opposite, top) is remarkable
inside and out for its modern
interpretations of classical
architectural language. The
fourth-floor Long Gallery
(above) was transformed into
a teaching and study gallery
as originally envisioned by Jules
Prown, the center's founding
director. "Pogo walls," which
had previously subdivided the
gallery, were removed, allowing
for an unobstructed view
of the 140-foot-long space.
White-oak wall panels in the
four-story Entrance Court
(opposite, bottom), the only
top-lit space within the center,
were refurbished in place
and by hand using Greenguard
Certified refinishing products.

96

The Yale Center for British Art, an architectural
masterwork by Louis Kahn, has been meticulously
refurbished following an exhaustive conservation
study and 18-month closure of its galleries.
The building in New Haven, Connecticut, has been
treated with the precision and respect of a fine
work of art. Interiors have been upgraded to meet
current codes, as well as technical, educational,
and museum standards, with every decision
carefully weighed against Kahn's intentions.
Completed in 1977, three years after Kahn's
death, the center is a remarkably balanced and
complex piece of architecture that does many
seemingly opposing things at once: It is a deeply
urban building that is also a sanctuary for art; it
includes both monumental and domestically scaled
interiors; it blends commonplace with luxurious
materials; it is both welcoming and awe-inspiring.

The stakes are high when altering a masterpiece.
The New Haven-based firm Knight Architecture led
the refurbishment, carefully coordinating it in three
phases so that the collection would remain in the
building, per Paul Mellon's stipulations in his gift
to establish the museum. Every design decision for
the $33 million project followed the conservation plan
developed over the course of a decade by Londonbased Peter Inskip + Peter Jenkins Architects.
Righting the wrongs of architectural drift
Though it has always been carefully maintained,
the building had suffered from "architectural drift,"
according to Daphne Kalomiris, the project architect
at Knight. That drift included 30 years of wear,
poorly considered replacement materials, and other
inadequate alterations. The mechanical systems
needed to be completely replaced.
