Gumbo loves old architecture but every once in a while a newer building,like this one, catches his eye. Play along,have fun! There will be more clues as the game continues.

So, exactly where is Gumbo today? Please be as specific as possible.
And the trees are leafless, so somewhere with 4 distinct seasons.
Good point, PM, although this doesn’t look like a tropical place to me.
It’s clue time! Not only do popular attractions surround this building, it is located right downtown and itself is a very well reviewed major downtown attraction. It’s opening was covered by a lot of major media outlets.
Time for some clues. The architecture is associated with what’s inside, but it’s the interactive exhibits that most people remember.
The free-form shape and the large single entrance lead me to think of a concert hall…room for a big auditorium within. The windows are too irregular for offices or apartments, but might work for galleries or studios. Recent? Last 10-15 years?
Hmmm…the grass rather than street setting makes me wonder if it’s on a campus?
Agree, PHeymont. Looks like an artsy building. Probably a concert auditorium but I could see an museum or art gallery in here, too.
A tree trimmer’s college?
i was thinking school of architecture
With new clue…hmmm..movie theater complex?
Great insights! And it’s clue time. The building is less than 5 years old and it’s very, very close to some popular attractions. Does this shot help any?
University library?
Leafless trees aren’t, as I understand it, necessarily an indicator of 4 seasons. In the tropics, there can be 2 seasons, wet & dry, and some trees lose leaves in the dry season.
