FOSTER PARTNER’S FIRST PUBLIC GARDEN DESIGN TO

FEATURE IN NORTHON MUSEUM EXPANSION
The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida has announced
plans for the first-ever public garden designed by Foster + Partners as part
of their 5100 million expansion project. To feature a variety of native sub-
tropical plantings and gathering spaces, the garden is envisioned as “a new
social space for the community.”
“From the beginning, we have conceived of the Norton expansion as an
opportunity to create a New Norton -one that embraces its original design,
while also creating a more welcoming and inviting campus,” said Lord
Norman Foster.
“In our master plan, it was important for us to define the Norton’s sense of
place-in this case Florida’s lush subtropics. To do so, we conceptualized a
museum within a garden. We are creating verdant spaces for art and
programming that extends the museum beyond its walls.”
