纳什雕塑中心是一个令人印象深刻的现代雕塑中心，室内和室外都可展览。PWP事务所将纳什雕塑中心设计成一种户外画廊，可以展示20-30件作品。这些展品，有的是永久性展品，有的是临时性展品。花园内使用特别的土壤，能够承受雕塑作品的重量，也可以生长各种草木，为了保证有充分的展览空间，步行道保持最小，但同时符合有关的步道设计要求；石头台阶上灵活地设有灯光、声响、安全及花园的浇灌设施，并设有休闲的座椅和安放小型雕塑的地方。

The Nasher Sculpture Center houses an impressive collection of modern sculptures for both indoor and outdoor viewing. PWP created an outdoor gallery that is home to a few permanent sculptures as well as 20 to 30 temporary pieces in changing exhibits.

The garden design responds to Renzo Piano’s building, a parallel series of “archaeological” walls that allow views from Flora Street (the main street of the Arts District) through the delicately glazed building and out to the garden. Display spaces are created by live-oak and cedar-elm allées, rows of holly hedges, and a series of stone plinths that serve as seating and pedestals for sculpture. The plinths also hold flexible systems of lighting, sound, security, and irrigation. As a counterpoint to the linear display space, a large cedar-elm grove creates more intimate outdoor rooms for sculptures of different scales.

Fountains and pools at the side and end of the garden attract the eye and mask noise while groves of bamboo and a magnificent hedge of magnolias frame the sides of the building. Creating a sculpture garden with both permanent and changing exhibits comes with some challenges: specifically the requirements to move large, heavy pieces and to have flexibility in siting them within the garden. This necessitated the invention of a special soil system that supports weight, drains perfectly without catch basins, and encourages the growth of a resilient turf grass as well as the many specimen trees. Pavement was kept to a minimum, allowing easy access through the full extent of the garden.
