The 42-story glass-skinned condominium in Dallas known as Museum Tower, which is sending a harsh reflective glare into the nearby Nasher Sculpture Center, addressed the issue in a paid letter printed in Friday's Dallas Morning News.
“Since construction began, much has been reported about sunlight reflection from Museum Tower's glass surface,†the letter said.
“It's not uncommon for bold projects like Museum Tower to encounter an unexpected issue or two, and they are invariably solved,†the letter continued. “Our number one priority is finding the best solution to the reflection issue.â€
The tower has been sending excessive light into the Nasher's galleries, burning the plants in the center's garden and blinding visitors with its glare.
In response to Museum Tower's letter, the sculpture center â€" which was designed by Renzo Piano and whose director is Jeremy Strick - put out a statement. “The Nasher Sculpture Center is pleased to see that the Museum Tower owners have publicly acknowledged that there are design issues in their building that are causing damaging sunlight reflections throughout the Dallas Arts District and that the problem must be solved,†the center said.
“We continue to work diligently with the representatives of Museum Tower and are confident that a design solution exists that will eliminate the reflections throughout the neighborhood,†it added.
