B. Report from the Corporation of The
Fine Arts Museums on Recent Developments Regarding the Plans to Build
the New de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park
1. Report on the Award of the 2001 Pritzker
Architecture Prize to Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, Architects
for the New de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park
President Wilsey annouced that architects
Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, designers of the New de Young Museum
in Golden Gate Park, have been chosen to share the 2001 Pritzker Architecture
Prize, the architectural world’s most prestigious award. In addition
to their work on the de Young Museum, Messrs. Herzog and de Meuron have
attracted critical praise for their architectural work around the world.
The Board of Trustees congratulated Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron
with a heartfelt round of applause.
2. Presentation on the Next Stage of the
Design Development of the Architectural Plans for the New de Young Museum
in Golden Gate Park - Pierre de Meuron, Herzog & de Meuron Architekten
AG
President Wilsey introduced David Fong
and Chiu Lin Tse-Chan of Fong and Chan, the architects of record
for the New de Young building project. She then requested Pierre de
Meuron to present the next stage of the design development of the architectural
plans for the new de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park.
Mr. de Meuron began by stating that the
concept of the building remains the same but has been further developed.
He made the following points:
· The new building will provide a
seismically safe environment for the de Young collections, visitors,
and staff.
· Gallery space is doubled to 70,000
square feet with a larger temporary exhibition space of more than 12,000
square feet. The façade length of the building has been reduced
to approximately 400 feet.
· The two story building is low and
horizontal. The tower is a critical design element of the new de Young.
It is 160 feet high compared to the existing tower at 125 feet, or 130
feet above grade.
· The tower is a vertical structure,
whose base twists 40 degrees as it rises from the ground floor to the
top floor, where an observation deck is aligned on all four sides with
the City grid. Public education programs will be located in the tower
and will be free of charge to the public.
· The new de Young along with the
Academy of Sciences will continue to define the space of the Concourse
within Golden Gate Park. The new building is set at a 40 degree angle
to the city grid of San Francisco, viewed aerially.
· The design strives to merge nature
and architecture. The building is comprised of three bands with spaces
between each band, which allow the park to penetrate into the building.
· Walter Hood, Chair of the Department
of Landscape Architecture and Associate Professor in the Urban Design
Program at the University of California, Berkeley, has designed a landscape
plan for the new de Young, which continues the theme of integrating
the building into the park and the park into the building
· There are three ground level entry
points: a) the main entrance on the Concourse; b) a northeast entrance
at the new Garden of Enchantment off Kennedy Drive; and c) a southwest
entrance from the proposed sculpture garden adjacent to the Japanese
Tea Garden. A fourth entrance on the lower level, where the temporary
exhibition space and auditorium are located, connects directly to the
proposed underground parking garage being planning by the Concourse
Authority.
· The new de Young will be open to
the public in every sense. There is a main court in the center of the
building where orientation to the entire museum including all of the
galleries is possible. Each of the collections can be accessed from
the main court, and the public will be able to walk through the building
on the ground level without charge.
· The museum store; Family Room,
which will function as event and meeting space; the catering and kitchen
spaces; and the restaurant are located on the ground floor.
The ancient American art and twentieth
century art galleries surround the central hall. The auditorium can
be accessed on this level, as well as on the lower level.
· Three elevators and three staircases
provide access to the second floor where the following galleries are
located: a) 19th century American art; b) textiles; and c)
African and Oceanic art. Space for conservation, the library, and the
Textile Study Center are also located on this floor.
· The design of the new de Young
will emphasize the diversity of the de Young Museum’s collections. Traditional
gallery spaces will house the 19th century American art collection.
Large objects in the 20th century American art collection
will be displayed in contemporary, double height gallery spaces. Open,
fluid gallery spaces featuring wooden showcases, floors and ceilings
are proposed for the Africa, Oceanic and Americas collection.
· Natural and artificial light will
be utilized, depending on the condition and requirements of the works
of art to be displayed in a given gallery.
· The façade includes open
and solid areas. The use of glass and windows in the open areas will
provide views of the restaurant, museum store, and certain galleries
from the outside of the building. Copper is proposed as the main material
to be used on the exterior of the building. As it ages, it will develop
a patina and turn green over time.
· A sculpture garden is planned for
the space adjacent to the Japanese Tea Garden.
· The undulating roof is an important
architectural feature of the new de Young.
Mr. de Meuron concluded his slide presentation.
The Board of Trustees
acknowledged Mr. de Meuron and his presentation
of the next stage of the design development of the architectural plans
for the New de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park with an enthusiastic round
of applause.
3. Consideration and Possible Action to
Adopt a Resolution Approving the Next Stage of the Design Development
of the Architectural Plans for a New de Young Museum in Golden Gate
Park, and Authorizing the Board of Trustees of the Corporation of The
Fine Arts Museums to Implement
the Next Stage of Planning to Prepare
for the Construction of the New
de Young Museum
President Wilsey read the following resolution:
WHEREAS, At its meeting on October 14,
1999, the Board of Trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
endorsed the conceptual plan for a New de Young Museum in Golden Gate
Park presented by Herzog & de Meuron Architekten AG in June 1999
and authorized the Corporation of The Fine Arts Museums to proceed with
the further development of the architectural plan as the highest priority
of the Board of Trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in
order to fulfill its responsibility to build a New de Young Museum in
Golden Gate Park; and
WHEREAS, In October 1999, The Corporation
of The Fine Arts Museums launched the Capital Campaign for a New de
Young Museum, which has raised $147,236,133 from over 5,056 donors to
date; and
WHEREAS, On January 13, 2000, the Board
of Trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco authorized the
M. H. de Young Memorial Museum to be closed to the public on December
31, 2000 in order for it to be vacated so that hazardous material can
be removed, followed by an anticipated construction project; and
WHEREAS, The historic closing of the M.
H. de Young Memorial Museum building occurred on December 31, 2000 with
100,000 people visiting the de Young Museum in December 2000, a testimony
to the public sentiment held for the Museum; and
WHEREAS, At a joint meeting of the San
Francisco Planning Commission and the Recreation and Park Commission
held on December 7, 2000, the Environmental Impact
Report for the New de Young Project was
certified; and
WHEREAS, On December 14, 2000, the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
adopted the New de Young Museum Project California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) Findings, approved the schematic design of the New de Young
Museum Project and authorized the Corporation of The Fine Arts Museums
to proceed with the project and to refine design development documents;
and
WHEREAS, The Corporation of The Fine Arts
Museums recently completed the next stage of the design development
drawings of the architectural plans; and
WHEREAS, The New de Young Building Committee
of the Corporation of The Fine Arts Museums has recommended that the
Board of Trustees approve the next stage of the design development drawings
for the New de Young Museum; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of
the Fine Arts Museums of
San Francisco does hereby approve the next
stage of the design development of the architectural plans for a New de
Young Museum in Golden Gate Park; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees
authorizes the Corporation of The Fine Arts Museums to continue as the
developer of the New de Young Museum and to implement and expedite the
next stage of planning to prepare for the construction of the New de
Young Museum; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees
of the Fine Arts Museums of
San Francisco concludes that the Herzog
& de Meuron design for the New de Young Museum complements
and enhances the de Young Museum holdings, and will create an art
museum unique to its setting in Golden Gate Park, which will be seismically
safe for visitors, staff and the collections; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees
congratulates Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron upon receiving the
2001 Pritzker Architecture Prize.
On motion, duly seconded, there was
no discussion among the Trustees. President Wilsey called for comments
from the public. Public testimony was received from two individuals:
Robert Johnson - Attended the Farewell
to the de Young Museum evening. He asked a number of attendees if
they thought the space as you enter the Museum was worth saving.
All responded that the space should be saved. Speaking as an engineer,
he stated that saving the entry space is doable. Furthermore, the
real tower should be incorporated into the design as well.
Belinda Orling - Attended Pierre de
Meuron’s lecture on April 9th at the California College
of Arts and Crafts. In the past, a local newspaper article featuring
an image of the new de Young was not impressive. The problem with
the public’s image of the new de Young is not the design, but the
improper manner in which the media is presenting it to the public.
The new de Young is the first building of any importance in modern
architecture for San Francisco.
There was no further public testimony.
The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to adopt the above resolution
as Board Resolution 1371.

There being no further business, President
Wilsey adjourned the meeting at 4:35 p.m. in memory of Doris Magowan,
who was elected to the Board of Trustees in 1972 and appointed to the
Acquisitions Committee that same year. In her honor and in recognition
of her generosity to the Museums, gifts of works of art from the Magowan
family were displayed in Gallery 13, the Marianne and Richard H. Peterson
Gallery. Lee Miller, Curator of European Decorative Arts, organized
this tribute to Trustee Emerita Magowan.
Respectfully submitted,
Judy Gough
Executive Secretary
Note: These minutes set forth all actions
