For starters, there is Morphosis’ complicated design: a ruptured box with a spiraling atrium clad in custom tiles that had to be extruded in dozens of dimensions to accommodate all the twisting.

In October, the museum opened the doors to its highly anticipated new home: a swooping 53,000 square-foot structure designed by Morphosis at the eastern edge of the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa.

This month, the Orange County Museum of Art opened its new, Morphosis Architects-designed building and celebrates its 60th anniversary.

The new home — a $93 million, 53,000-square-foot edifice designed by Morphosis, led by Pritzker Prize architect Thom Mayne and partner Brandon Welling — opens on Saturday at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa.

Morphosis surely designed the building with the uninspiring site in mind.
