This seems a specific architectural term, often used in extensions done to museums - clearly I understand the literal meaning but does anyone know of the actual architectural term?

crawling-lizard-beast building
More context required, I feel. There are numerous possibilities.
It could be a "liaison building" between two or more other buildings, or even a "temporary storage building" for your museum, while awaiting the construction of permanent exhibition space.
Or it could be building built over or alongside water :
Les auteurs proposent un BÂTIMENT-PONT adossé au chantier de la CGN (Cie Générale de Navigation, lac Léman) et créent ainsi un parcours invitant le long des rives du lac [ ... ] Ce concept de BÂTIMENT-PONT est cependant annulé dans la coupe et dans le plan du rez-de-chaussée par l'introduction d'un volume décalé et encastré entre les piles du pont
http://www.musees-vd.ch/fileadmin/user_upload/themes/culture...
Or it could actually be a building, in this case a museum even, forming a bridge over a river:
Le Musée du Papier est installé depuis 1988 dans les anciennes papeteries Lacroix (1830-1910) devenues papeteries Joseph-Bardou « Le Nil » (1918-1972), il pérennise la mémoire industrielle et ouvrière du lieu. [ ... ] Les bâtiments du MUSEE sont CONSTRUITS SUR LE FLEUVE ET FORMENT UN PONT, allant de la rue de Bordeaux jusqu’à l’île de Saint-Cybard [ ... ] depuis, l’eau de la Charente a coulé sous le BATIMENT-PONT du Nil,
http://www.angouleme.fr/museep/spip.php?rubrique2#
However, I assume your text is on the Musée Quai Branly :
La quatrième entité architecturale correspond au BÂTIMENT PONT qui abrite la grande galerie d’exposition. Elément majeur en passe de devenir l’image emblématique du musée, ce grand PONT de 210 m de long construit SUR PILOTIS à 10 m du sol s’appuie sur une structure métallique cossue, proche de l’embonpoint, aujourd’hui complètement dissimulée derrière les surface de plâtre enduis et les pares soleil. Durant l’été 2002, après les premiers travaux d’excavation et de construction des sous sol, s’est enclenché la deuxième phase du chantier consistant à mettre en place le grand mécano aux 600 000 poutres métalliques. Un défi d’autant plus délicat que les plans de ce BÂTIMENT PONT se sont révélés être d’une grande complexité. L’implantation aléatoire voulue par l’architecte pour les 26 POTEAUX-PILOTIS sur lesquels reposent les planchers a rendu particulièrement compliqué la réalisation de la charpente.

Sur la rive gauche de la Seine, à l’ombre de la Tour Eiffel, c’est un BATIMENT-PONT, courbe et longiligne, construit sur pilotis, qui enjambe, à quinze mètres du sol, un jardin de végétation dense dessiné par Gilles Clément

Quite why it the Quai Branly building is called a bâtiment pont I don't know. It IS on stilts, as if built on or over water, and IS alongside the Seine, but it is not actually remotely near the river. So I think it's more a matter of architectural triviality than physical reality.
Just call it a "bridge building" and have done with it!

wing(for museum)
Hi Sarah
If this refers to a museum as you say then it would probably be wing, which as you say is more of an extension. I can think of two off the top of my head - Sainsbury Wing at the National and the Wellcome Wing at the Science museum. Hope that helps

bridge
if it is anything like the "crystal bridge" at Printemps Haussman in Paris, or the bridge that existed at Rich's downtown in Atlanta USA
