At the Studio Museum, Adjaye's concept is defined by
innovative design features and improved space planning, including: a light - filled core that soars upward for four stories intended to echo the volume of a church sanctuary; a 199 -
seat «inverted stoop» that invites the
public into a lively multi-use space for lectures, performances and other
public programs; and a variety of graciously proportioned spaces for presenting featured exhibitions as well as works from the museum's permanent collection.
