This study aims to explore the architectural design of The Broad in Los Angeles (California, USA), with a particular focus on analyzing its geometry. The Broad is a prominent contemporary art museum that has become an architectural icon in the city. The analysis of its geometry will shed light on the design principles and spatial characteristics that make it a unique and visually striking structure. The research methodology involves a comprehensive examination of the museum’s archi-tectural plans, elevations, and photographs. By employing various analytical tech-niques, such as planometric and axonometrics drawings, the study will delve into the intricate geometric patterns and forms employed in The Broad’s design. The findings of this study will contribute to a deeper understanding of The Broad’s architectural language and its relationship with the surrounding urban context. The analysis will uncover how the geometry of the building interacts with natural light, creating capti-vating visual experiences for visitors. Additionally, the study will investigate the relationship between the museum’s interior spaces and the artwork displayed within, examining how the geometry of the architecture enhances the overall aesthetic expe-rience. By examining The Broad’s architecture through the lens of geometry, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the design principles and spatial charac-teristics that contribute to its success as a cultural institution. The research findings will not only contribute to the field of architecture but also serve as a source of inspiration for future architectural endeavors.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the architectural design of The Broad in Los Angeles (California, USA), with a particular focus on analyzing its geometry. The Broad is a prominent contemporary art museum that has become an architectural icon in the city. The analysis of its geometry will shed light on the design principles and spatial characteristics that make it a unique and visually striking structure. The research methodology involves a comprehensive examination of the museum’s archi-tectural plans, elevations, and photographs. By employing various analytical tech-niques, such as planometric and axonometrics drawings, the study will delve into the intricate geometric patterns and forms employed in The Broad’s design. The findings of this study will contribute to a deeper understanding of The Broad’s architectural language and its relationship with the surrounding urban context. The analysis will uncover how the geometry of the building interacts with natural light, creating capti-vating visual experiences for visitors. Additionally, the study will investigate the relationship between the museum’s interior spaces and the artwork displayed within, examining how the geometry of the architecture enhances the overall aesthetic expe-rience. By examining The Broad’s architecture through the lens of geometry, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the design principles and spatial charac-teristics that contribute to its success as a cultural institution. The research findings will not only contribute to the field of architecture but also serve as a source of inspiration for future architectural endeavors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
