Even without the staid academic edifices that surround it on the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing, the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum would be a startling sight, its stainless-steel façades folded accordion-style and angled as if ready for flight. This much is expected of a design by Zaha Hadid, the Iraqi-born architect whose buildings can’t seem to sit still. The museum was scheduled to be completed last spring, but construction problems (involving glass sheets that didn’t quite fit their openings) have delayed its debut until November 10—the kind of thing that happens when an architect pushes, and pleats, the envelope. The line between contemporary art and the structures conceived to house it has never been more blurred. broadmuseum.msu.edu
