Seattle Art Museum The Seattle Art Museum (commonly known as

"SAM") is an art museum located in Seattle, Washington, USA. It maintains three major facilities: its main museum in downtown Seattle; the Seattle Asian Art Museum (SAAM) in Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill, and the Olympic Sculpture Park on the central Seattle waterfront.

In 1931, Dr. Richard Fuller commissioned

architect Carl F. Gould to design the art deco

building that is now the Seattle Asian Art Museum.

It opened in Seattle’s Volunteer Park in 1933.

Some 50 years after opening, Seattle voters

approved to build a new 150,000-square-foot

museum in the heart of the city’s downtown.

The building, designed by Pritzker Prize-winner

Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown of

Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates, opened in

late 1991.

Hans Hollein

Hans Hollein was born on 30 March 1934 in

Vienna, Austria, he is an architect and designer.

Hollein derived an architectural vocabulary based

on an intimate knowledge of the Vienna's culture.

Although his studies in America affected his

development, Hollein's work relied heavily on

Viennese historicism and the Secession movement.

He used the theory that "everything is

architecture" as a means of discounting the strict

formalism of Functionalism. Ironically, Hollein's

work often appears as a form of Super-

Functionalism despite his overt criticism of the

functional style.
