CLEVELAND ART INSTITUTE mvrdv
FACTSLocation : Cleveland, OH, USA
Year : 2007-2008
Client : Cleveland Institute of Art
Program : 5.000 m2 Art Gallery, including studio space, galleries, auditorium and offices
Budget : Undisclosed
ABOUTLately many cities are commissioning and building eye-catching Museums of Arts. Each museum aims to draw
attention, even leading to some competition between museums. Architecture plays a significant role in this
development. It is one of the outspoken visual ways to show the museum to the world, and advertise its function as a
public place. Its interiors act as the ultimate stage set for the art, balancing between modesty that serves the art and
exuberance that complements the art. Many building styles have been explored: anywhere from modest white
buildings to sculptural buildings to ‘animistic’ buildings.
The project scope includes the remodeling of the current Institute of Art (the historic McCullough Building) and the
construction of an adjacent expansion. The integration of the historic structure is crucial. The program for the existing
building includes a Future Design Center, exhibition spaces, student services, computer facilities, conference rooms
and offices. The new expansion accommodates an auditorium, gallery spaces and administration office spaces. A
minimum of LEED silver is required.
The proposal is to extend the warehouse with another warehouse, following the structure and rhythm of the historic
building, a slab of four layers along the un-attractive former backside of the historic building which is covered by the
new addition. Near the ends are elevator cores and stairs that connect the floors, in-between the cores long column
free spaces, ideal spaces for arts and flexible for future change. In order to accommodate the main entrance and to
add character to the building it curves in a wave over the main entrance. This wave creates efficiently two auditoriums
on the ground floor, located perfectly at the entrance allowing large crowds easy access. On the three upper floors the
wave creates an exciting environment to study and work, the terraced floors allow for multiple arrangements, from
open plan offices to office cells, connected by a series of stairs and wheelchair ramps.
Avoiding to become a competition for the historic building the extension keeps at its extremes a respectful distance to
the historic structure and approaches it towards the centre, emphasizing its middle with the main entrance. Except for
a bridge on the highest point of each floor the two buildings never touch. The extensions exterior is an echo of the
historic buildings rhythm and respectfully sober at the outer ends where it is close to the historic façade. At its long
side the wave adds character to the extension, providing for a clear main entrance and allowing the interiors’ variety
whilst being highly functional.
The goal for the addition to the McCullough Center is to create rugged, flexible studio spaces in an environment that
can be quickly reconfigured as artistic practices and technologies change in the 21st century and to encourage
interdisciplinary thinking. The CIA did not ask for a new identity but for a project that responded to its identity and
integrated the much loved historic building in a respectful way.
