SFMOMA names four finalists for expansion
- May 11, 2010 22:46

Foster + Partners, David Adjaye Associates, Snøhetta, and Diller Scofidio + Renfro are in the running to add approximately 150,000 square feet of space, largely to house the collection of GAP retail store founders Donald and Doris Fisher.
The final selection will be made in September.
