“Midway Contemporary Art Garage (MCAG) is an adaptive reuse development of a former limousine garage, transformed into a non-profit art facility. Situated near the Mississippi River in Minneapolis (USA), the project is adjacent to a larger long-term city initiative to revitalize the local post-industrial landscape over a span of 100 years. Embracing a social-ecological transformation approach, MCAG follows a phased concept that encompasses various stages: (1) Adapting and renovating the existing building, (2) converting the outdoor parking area into a park and rain garden, and (3) expanding the library, teaching, and residency spaces. Accordingly, the design of MCAG highlights the transformative process, acknowledging its importance alongside the eventual outcome.”
