Diller Scofidio + Renfro said its architectural plan for the museum would juxtapose the industrial heritage of the site with modern exhibition spaces.

During an earlier visit to the brownfield site, Diller Scofidio + Renfro partner Benjamin Gilmartin called the depot a “thrilling, exciting building”, one that is “heroic and dramatic”.
