*덴버 현대아트 뮤지엄 [ Adjaye Associates ] Museum of Contemporary Art

투명한 메스 위에 비대칭으로 올려진 솔리드 메스가
인상적인 뷰포인트를 만들어냅니다.
덴버에 위치한 현대아트 박물관은 2만 스퀘어피트 공간안에
다양한 전시공간과, 교육 및 강의를 위한 개별실
그리고 커뮤니티를 위한 북샵등이 계획되었으며
옥상정원에는 야외전시물을 위한 옥외전시공간을 확보하고 있습니다.

박물관의 공간 계획은 비상설전시를 목적으로 하는 공간인 만큼
전시프로그램과 관람자들 동선에 따라 자유롭게 변화 가능하도록
플렉시블한 공간으로 계획합니다.
특히 제한된 볼륨과 덱스쳐를 이용한 미니멀한 디자인은
현대적아트가 지향하는 모던함과 심플과 조화롭게 매치됩니다.

Winning the competition to create a new building for MCA Denver, made this project Adjaye Associates’ first public commission in the US. With 20,000 square feet of exhibition, education and lecture spaces, bookshop and a roof garden area for outdoor art, the intention behind the design is for its architecture to ‘support rather than define the museum’s mission’.

With no permanent collection, the museum is host to a programme of visiting exhibitions and for this reason the brief specified internal flexibility.
The building acts as a receptacle whose contents are subject to considerable variation, hence the materiality of these areas is based on the use of a limited number of monochromes and textures.

On completion, MCA Denver achieved the distinction of Gold Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED), making it the nation’s first LEED certified contemporary art museum; pioneering sustainability and taking a leadership role in the reduction of energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and use of raw materials.
