ocated at the northern edge of Michigan State University's campus, this
unique building is influenced by a set of movement paths that traverse
and border the site. Presenting itself as a sharp, directed body,
comprising directional pleats which reflect the topographic and
circulatory characteristics of its surrounding landscape. With an outer
skin that that gives the building an ever-changing appearance on
passing, creating great curiosity yet never quite revealing its content.
This open character underlines the museum's function as a cultural hub
for the community.
