The building is decidedly modern, distinguishing itself from all around it, and reflecting the nature of its contents. The unique architecture of the museum is a source of pride for the Hirshhorn, abandoning neoclassical and Beaux-arts elements in favor of a cylindrical form elevated by four massive legs, with a central courtyard and fountain. The website outlines building materials, dimensions, and the breakdown of its floorplan and the footprint of the plaza and sculpture garden.
