Crystal Bridges, Art Park Arrival
Location: Bentonville, Arkansas
Team: Marlon Blackwell Architects
Art Park is a new arrival point for Crystal Bridges Art Museum and Whole Health Institute visitors. It features a multi-use 800 space parking structure and a sculpted drop-off that provides tour bus and shuttle service to the art museum and various destinations.
The Ozark forest canopy and native plants extend from the valley across the arrival drive and drop-off area, to provide shade and comfort to visitors. The drop-off connects to a wider network of wooded bike and walking trails and to Whole Health Institute across the road.
