Imagining Denver’s New MCA

Architect David Adjaye’s design for Denver’s new Museum of Contemporary Art won’t be unveiled until October, but details are trickling out slowly. Plans for the museum have expanded since Adjaye was engaged to design it, with the latest projections showing an increase in both square footage and price. It was decided early on that “the building should not contain one or two large spaces that could be partitioned and adapted to all kinds of art. Instead, they’re opting for an array of distinctive galleries, each serving certain types of work better than others.”
