The Institute of Contemporary Art faces Boston harbor in the Seaport District. Designed by Diller Scofido + Renfro, it was completed in 2006 and extends the boardwalk along the harbor.
The building is organized as a series of public zones stacked on each other. Outdoor amphitheater seating facing the harbor leads up to a 330 seat theater that sits below the top floor gallery. The media center with stepped seating faces the harbor and gives visitors access to the collection. The floors are connected by a glass elevator and an open stair.
There lots of great places nearby to eat including Sportello, Honeygrow and the Tatte Cafe.
The ICA makes visible its organization in its section where the form and experience come alive.
