The project of the Contemporary Art Museum of Guadalajara consisted of two volumes. The first one contained workshop areas and classrooms.

The second volume, which was the larger of the two, was the museum itself, which had permanent exhibition areas, temporary exhibition areas, a cafeteria, a shop, administrative offices, and storage to keep and maintain the cultural heritage. This part of the building had an unusual shape, which created a sense of movement, and it is noticeable due to its own reflection on a giant water mirror.
