Museum Garage

In 2015, Craig Robins, the developer of the Design District, enlisted architect and curator Terence Riley to envision the Museum Garage. The project brought together the talents of renowned architects and designers, including WORKac, J. Mayer H., Clavel Arquitectos, Nicolas Buffe, and Riley's own firm, K/R (Keenen/Riley). TimHaahs served as the architect of record.

Riley drew inspiration from the surrealist game Exquisite Corpse, known in French as Cadavre Exquis. This game involves artists contributing to an image without knowing what others have created, resulting in a composition where individual parts might not match but come together in a playful harmony. Under Riley's guidance, each architect was assigned a specific area and depth to develop, granting them creative freedom to craft distinct designs. The result is a unique modern architectural interpretation of the Exquisite Corpse concept.
