Framed Print of Corona panel designed for NMaHC (Type A: 65% opacity), ca. 2013
An openwork cast aluminum panel of the type used to fabricate the cladding that covers the exterior of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, located on the National Mall in Washington, DC. The panels bronze color is the final finish, and is the same as the color of the panels installed on the NMaHC building. Panels were constructed in differing levels of opacity or thickness, in order to regulate the amount of light that enters the building. Panels with varying levels of opacity are used on each side of the building. This panel is the Type A design, with an opacity or density of 65% (35% open). The panel sometimes is referred to as a corona panel, because these panels encapsulate the stacked upper levels of the buildings design, referred to as the corona levels by the architects. The stacked shape of the building itself was designed to relfect the stacked top portions of Yoruba carved wood columns by Olowe of Ise found on traditional buildings in Nigeria. This top portion is known as a capital in architectural vocabulary, and the architects also use the words crown and corona to refer to the design inspiration they gained from this top portion of Yoruba column. This panel was fabricated at the same time as the panels installed on the building. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Heritage Art/Heritage Images
