Bomb shell: a striking structure big enough to house a B52 bomber, an unobtrusive backdrop to the other exhibits and a tight budget were just three of the strict requirements in the brief for the American Air Museum in Duxford
Article Abstract:
A design team led by Sir Norma Foster and Partners designed a building for housing a Boeing B52 Statofortress at the American Air Museum in Duxford. Other exhibits were also to be housed in the structure. The shield shaped structure was built from precast concrete to give a smooth soffit to the shell and a uniform finish, requiring minimum maintenance.
