Today's ArchiPic is the beautiful Contemporary Art Museum in Raleigh, North Carolina. Nicknamed CAM, the museum is a new favorite place for the fastest growing city in North Carolina and was designed by Brooks + Scarpa from Los Angeles. A creative and intricate design makes CAM stand out from other Contemporary art museums in the country. With a cost of about 3.4 million US dollars, the museum has over 22,300 square feet of space.
“The idea is that you have a building from a period that is heavy and permanent. The [canopy] is light and floating, so there is tension between the two—one representing today and the other yesterday," said Scarpa. CAM's angular features make it also stand out from the crowd of museums. I think CAM has an amazing design, and it should be recognized for its uniqueness. I have seen many Contemporary art museums, and this one is notably one of the best.
