This expansion in the collection led to the construction of its East Building in the year 1971. The newer structure has a modernist style, with a massive triangular atrium that forms the spectacular heart of the structure's internal public space.

A gushing waterfall and a total of 7 glass tetrahedrons illuminate, and bring movement to, the subterranean space (National Gallery of Art, 2016).
