Another interesting observation from the article¹D. Maurice Kreis, “On the Dartmouth Green, Art and Architecture Make their Stand,” InDepthNH.org (9 February 2019). by D. Maurice Kreis about the new Hood:

Both outside and in the capacious lobby, the brickwork (made in Denmark) is off-white. You could infer that this is the museum making its stand on the Green, rebelling against its red-brick neighbors, but I see the milky color as an homage to the museum’s chief benefactors, whose fortune was originally made in dairy.

Another one of the smarter reviews so far is the one by Samuel Medina in Metropolis (21 March 2019).

A film of a talk that architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien gave at Dartmouth is very interesting. Williams and Tsien will receive honorary degrees at Commencement on June 9.
