INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS
The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), was founded in 1947 by a collective of poets, artists and critics, moving to its current location on London’s Mall in 1968. The space has been through a series of makeovers and renovations during the years, which have left the ICA adrift and unwelcoming to the gallery’s regular programme of events.
Won as part of an invited competition in late 2023, the project consists of a reworked entrance foyer, reconfigured bookshop and the addition of an accessible ramp into the newly enclosed main gallery space. Completed over a short winter break and on a tight budget, the scheme clarifies way-finding, organising a once cluttered foyer and bookshop, and floods natural light back into the gallery spaces. The following work was completed at Sanchez Benton architects.
