The Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame was founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, and opened its doors in 2000. The Frank Gehry-designed museum building is located on the campus of the Seattle Center, adjacent to the Space Needle and the Seattle Center Monorail, which runs through the building. The building contains 140,000 square feet, with a 35,000-square-foot footprint, and resembles many of the Frank Gehry firm’s other works in its sheet-metal construction. Much of the building material is exposed in the building’s interior. The exterior is littered with juxtaposing materials, shapes, colors, and asymmetry. GlasPro created the many oddly shaped windows that are found on the buildings facade, as well as the large glass front entrance.
