Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) - cantilevered harbor-front building

The Institute of Contemporary Art's current building on Boston's waterfront, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro and opened in 2006, features a dramatic cantilevered glass-and-steel structure that extends over Boston Harbor. Its design provides expansive public views of the harbor and a distinctive visual profile among U.S. contemporary art museums. The ICA's harbor-front orientation and cantilevered form make it a singular example of museum architecture in Boston's seaport district.
