The Smithsonian has now unveiled five proposed designs for the new building, a three-story, 50,000-square-foot facility that will offer science, arts, and technology programming and activities to visitors. The structure will rise at the location of a pyramid-like glass restaurant pavilion by Obata and his firm, Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum (now better known as HOK), that first opened in 1988. The construction of the Bezos Learning Center involves demolishing the restaurant, which has angered preservation groups including Docomomo. At the time, the organization shared to AN that it hoped the pavilion, which is not landmarked or protected, would be reviewed again and added to the National Register of Historic Places.
