The exterior will be metallic. After the wood paneling they'll slap on a layer of Tyvek and then you'll start to see the copper "plank" skin.

How will that copper age? l assume it will change over time.

Or like a Star Wars sandcrawler thing. Or like this thing:

A copper coating is definitely a bad idea, it requires a lot of time to be kept in semi decent shape... Isn't the director a shareholder of a house cleaning company? Because it may look "cool" but is a waste of public money.

Is this museum receiving public money?

No....all private donations.

Hard to see in the picture, but black bricks are going up around the base of the building

Copper application has begun.

I think I saw the parking garage across the street under construction when driving by a few weeks ago (far left in photo). I didn't realize that they were building one for the museum.

Yes, the posted rendering is the only rendering that i know of, but i do volunteer at the Dallas Holocaust Museum and we were told that this parking lot was going to become a parking garage for the museum. i am very happy to hear we will be getting the garage!

That’s going to look nice.

Thanks for the pics!

They submitted renderings of the garage to the landmark commission a long time ago. If I could remember which meeting agenda it was I would go find it. There are multiple renderings of the parking garage for the museum out there somewhere.
