That thing is stunning in person. It beats anything UofM has built in the last 10 years, imo.

That's because U of M has strict contextual guidelines for campus development. I see the rationale...create a cohesive unified campus rather than a hodgepodge of structures. I can understand that to an extent, but in the case of an art museum I believe you can be afforded the freedom to design something out of the box. In a sense the building behaves as a sculpture in the garden.
