TENNESSEE STATE MUSEUM

LOCATION: Nashville, TN
DATE COMPLETED: 2018
CLIENT: State of Tennessee

HDLA was commissioned in 2015 to design the new Tennessee State Museum. The museum boasts a large gathering lawn, a Tennessee waterways fountain, a children's outdoor sculpture court and garden, gathering courts, east end west drop off plazas, and a Tennessee physiographic walk to the north. The main axis entry walk aligns with the Capitol rotunda, while the site responds seamlessly with the Capitol Mall. Native materials, geology, ecology and hydrology express themselves as themes throughout the site.
