The ICA Museum which was designed by Diller Scofido + Renfro was recently opened and we were able to take a visit to check it out. The museum itself is very interesting with the surfaces folding and creating a continous plane on the outside, however this wrapping surface didnt really show in the interior (in the spaces I did see). Also something that was very unfortunate was the overall detailing of the project. There were many areas where there seemed to be a lack of thought in the design, such as sprinkler risers being visible around corners, the structure creating a shadow on the "skrim" in the upper galleries, moisture/condensation issues throughout and a computer lab in the coolest space of all ???? Overall though, it is a very interesting building, just hope it doesnt turn into another Wexner Center.... On the brightside, Renfro is one freaking hilarious speaker.
As for the art galleries, they had some cool exhibits, my personal favorite was an installation done by James Turrell (exploiting optical illusions).
