I must add my thanks to Duncan as well. I was away for a couple of days and what a nice surprise upon my return.
I can see that there will be a wide variety of opinions here. I also read the followup article which answered my main question - would any of the existing building be preserved. (Apparently not).
I too would like to know what E looks like on the outside. I find F too awkward with the large timbered building in the background, and wonder how some of the smaller appearing designs could accomplish all of the needs of the museum. I also don't like the metal look of A and D.
My favorite by far is B and then H. They both look substantial and have a nice unified design, that would not be as distracting from the lake as some of the others.
