Bringing art to people : Lead architect for Museum of Contemporary Art renovation lays out her vision

Gill’s “devotion to making clear, simple, sincere spaces was forever unwavering,” Selldorf said. After Scripps’ death, the building, at 700 Prospect St., became The Art Center in 1941 and evolved into MCASD, undergoing several renovations. Two of the most significant were a series of expansions by architectural firm Mosher & Drew in 1950, 1960 and the late 1970s and a renovation by Venturi Scott Brown in 1996. When Selldorf Architects was approached for the current expansion, “we created a geometry that would marry these different parts,” Selldorf said. Selldorf’s plans for the current renovation work “with our architectural legacy,” said MCASD’s chief executive, Kathryn Kanjo, “repurposing existing spaces and … adding gracious new galleries and public amenities.”
