===High Museum of Art Extension (1999–2005)===
The original building of the [[High Museum of Art]] in [[Atlanta]], Georgia, designed by [[Richard Meier]], and inspired by the form of the [[Guggenheim Museum]] in New York City of [[Frank Lloyd Wright]], opened in 1983. Piano's project added four new structures; a pavilion for exhibitions, a gallery for special collections, a building for offices, and a residence hall for the Atlanta College Of Art, creating {{cvt|16,000|sqm}} of additional space. Both the new building and the original building are a gleaming white. A glass bridge with two levels connects the main pavilion with the original part of the museum. The careful management of external light is a particular feature of Piano's buildings; the High Museum Extension rows of curving fan-shaped panels on the facade and on the interior ceiling with filter the sunlight. From the parvis on the outside, the white facade gives the impression that the building has no weight at all.{{Sfn|Jodidio|2016|page=61}}
