To commemorate the bicentenary of Antonio Canova's birth, theVenetian authorities decided to have an extension added to theoriginal museum, and they commissioned Carlo Scarpa for thisdelicate task.

The building raised highexpectations from the outset, as the central element in Bilbao'scomprehensive urban renewal programme. Its site between river,railway, bridge and new town makes it a symbol of the Basquemetropolis that can be seen from a considerable distance. It isboth the heart of the city and a testbed for the arts, representingboth public presence and artistic change.The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, is a unique collection of architecturalworks - among them the Caroline Wiess Law Building,comprising the original William Ward Watkin Building of 1924 andthe 1958 and 1974 additions designed by Ludwig Mies van derRohe, the Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden created byIsamu Noguchi in 1986 - and now the Audrey Jones Beck Buildingby Rafael Moneo. Moneo has proposed a four-story facilitydirectly facing the Law Building and connected to it via an undergroundwalkway. The limestone building occupies the whole site,thereby reinforcing its urban character.Heinz Tesar's buildings occupy a very particular place on theAustrian architectural scene. There is a creative imagination atwork here, which always operates outside the scope of modernroutine. The town of Klosterneuburg has become something likean artistic home for Tesar. The Schömerhaus, an office buildingwhose huge oval central hall leaves convention far behind, and theProtestantchurch, which has a rounded floor plan like a tear-drop,were now followed by the impressive museum he has built here tohouse 4000 objects from the Essl collection, which includes themost important collection of Austrian art after 1945.
