該項目是位于弗吉尼亞州首府里士滿，弗吉尼亞聯邦大學校園邊的新當代藝術院，它將周圍社區與大學連接起來。坐落于里士滿最繁華的 Broad 和 Belvidere 大街十字路口，該建筑以一種迷人的開放感成為進入大學的大門。主入口在表演空間和廣場的交叉路口，在“X-Y”的軸線上增加了一個垂直的“Z"方向元素。一些交叉體量的扭動通過“當前的平面”與美術館的“分叉時間”相連。

這個 41,000 平方英尺（約 3,809平方米）的建筑有兩個正面：一面朝向城市，一面通過雕塑園朝向廣場，將城市與校園連接起來。在地面層，咖啡館和該層的美術館直接通向雕塑園。中軸旋轉門可以打開，使活動擴展到花園中。在青石板和礫石鋪成的花園中，種植著銀杏樹。一個巨大的循環水倒影池將這個花園塑造成“思考之地”。

該建筑是一種有時間感的室內室外的體驗。從西側（大學校園）步行過來，它以不斷變化的視角展開。如果你步行而來，廣場逐漸進入你的視野，伴隨著腳下礫石吱吱作響。如果你乘汽車從北、東或南到達，扭轉的雙重垂直幾何體量提醒著你那里就是入口，并隨著汽車的經過而改變形狀。到了晚上，磨砂玻璃的發光立面激活了室外空間。還可以在這些磨砂玻璃墻上進行視頻投影，用藝術動畫與戶外空間互動。

擁有 240 個座位的靈活表演空間配備完善，可以放映電影，舉辦戲劇、舞蹈和音樂表演。它連接了一層和二層，在那里，從美術館遠眺可以看到視覺藝術和表演藝術之間意想不到的景觀。

室外的霧面半透明玻璃和氧化鈦鋅表皮有著共同的灰綠色調，給建筑一種變化的存在感，依靠燈光使整體的不透明變化成各種不同的半透明感。四個屋頂花園包括一個布局在二層的雕塑露臺，擺放著特別訂制的藝術家裝置。這個 LEED 金獎建筑用地熱井加熱和冷卻，在冬季收獲同樣的能量來加熱建筑，在夏季重新儲存以冷卻建筑物。

當代藝術院將成為連接大學校園和里士滿的新大門和催化劑。它迷人的雙面廣場向寧靜的雕塑花園敞開，并將為最重要的尖端當代藝術展覽提供空間能量。在弗吉尼亞聯邦大學一流的藝術學院的推動下，該建筑將成為展覽、電影放映、公開講座、演出、座談會和社區活動的重要工具，吸引著大學、城市和更多的可能性。

Sited at the edge of the Virginia Commonwealth University campus in Richmond, Virginia, the new Institute for Contemporary Art links the University with the surrounding community.On the busiest intersection of Richmond at Broad and Belvidere Streets, the building forms a gateway to the University with an inviting sense of openness.The main entrance is formed by an intersection of the performance space and Forum, adding a vertical “Z” component to the “X-Y” movement of the intersection.The torsion of these intersecting bodies is joined by a “plane of the present” to the galleries in “forking time.”

The 41,000-square-foot building has a double front: one side opens from the city, the other from the sculpture garden to the Forum, linking city and campus.On the ground level, the café opens directly onto the sculpture garden, as does the ground-level gallery.Pivot doors allow opening events to spill out into the garden.Paved in bluestone slabs and gravel, the garden is planted with gingko trees.A large reflecting pond of recycled water shapes the sense of this garden as a “Thinking Field.”

The building is an experience of movement in time around the exterior as well as the interior.Approaching on foot from the west (from the University), the building unfolds in the parallax of changing perspectives.As you walk, the crunch of gravel under your feet is complemented by a view that gradually opens to reveal the Forum.If you arrive by car from the north, east, or south, the double-vertical geometry in torsion marks a gateway presence, which changes shape as the car passes by.At night, glowing planes of obscure glass activate the exterior.Video projections may appear on these obscure glass walls,animating the outdoor space with art.

The 240-seat flexible performance space is fully equipped for film, theater, dance, and music performances.It connects the first floor with the second, where an overlook from the galleries provides an unexpected view between visual and performing arts.

The exterior matte translucent glass and pre-weathered titanium zinc skin share the same greenishgrey tonality, giving the building a shifting presence, from monolithic opaque to multifarious translucent,depending on the light.The four rooftop gardens include a sculpture terrace on the second level for site-specific artist installations.The LEED Gold building is heated and cooled with geothermal wells,harvesting the same amount of energy during the winter to heat the building as it restores in the summer to cool the building.

The Institute for Contemporary Art will be a new gateway and catalyst, linking the University and the city of Richmond.With its inviting double-fronted forum opening to a serene sculpture garden, it will provide spatial energy for the most important cutting-edge contemporary art exhibits.Propelled by VCU’s topranked School of the Arts, the ICA's architecture is an instrument for exhibitions, film screenings, public lectures, performances, symposia, and community events, engaging the University, the city, and beyond.
