Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston – Diller Scofidio + Renfro — Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston – Diller Scofidio + Renfro
2006
The design of the ICA negotiates between two competing objectives: to perform as a dynamic civic building filled with public and social activities, and as a contemplative space providing individual visitors with intimate experiences with contemporary art. The “public” building is built from the ground up; the “intimate” building, from the sky down.” – Elizabeth Diller

The museum was founded as the Boston Museum of Modern Art in 1936 with a mission to exhibit contemporary art. Since then it has gone through multiple name changes as well as moving its galleries and support spaces over 13 times.
