Adjaye Unveils Denver MoCA Design

The design of the new permanent home of Denver’s Museum of Contemporary Art has been unveiled, and it stands in stark contrast to the flashy, eye-catching architecture that currently dominates the museum scene. “[Architect David] Adjaye’s concept puts the emphasis on dramatic interior spaces. Rather than jutting angles, the 25,000-square-foot building offers a placid interplay of light… Most of the exterior will be sheathed in glass, its color yet to be determined. About a foot inside the glass will be walls of translucent plastic, which will… allow in some diffused light during the day and radiate a glow from inside at night.”
