Abstract
- BUILDING TYPE STUDY 1,048 ARTS & CULTURE IN 2007, Morphosis won the competition for the new home of the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA), in Costa Mesa, California, and, by 2008, the project was officially under way. Skin in the Game OCMA's dynamic rainscreen "brings together low- and hightech solutions", says Morphosis partner in charge Brandon Welling, referring to the artisanal craft of glazed terra-cotta and the cuttingedge digital techniques that made possible the precise design and construction of such an irregularly undulant wrapper. SCA's freestanding buildings are densely packed and stylistically eclectic - ranging from the mega-scaled masonry geometries of architect Charles Lawrence's Segerstrom Hall to the glassy, wavelike facade of Cesar Pelli's concert venue, next door to OCMA.
