...those officers soon discovered anomalies suggesting that neither the crime nor Luna may have been exactly what they had at first seemed. Suspicion had originally settled on the jailed drug dealers. But they lacked a motive: the plea had shaved years from their expected sentences, and shooting its architect could only jeopardize that. Then there was Luna's last trip.

While the form is striking, the actual spaces seem less than ideal. Reminiscent of Dutch architect-celebrity Rem Koolhaas’ Second Stage Theatre in Manhattan, the stage’s proscenium is replaced by a giant window that overlooks the street below and doubles as a film screen. Similarly, it becomes clear that Maltzan’s museums are not places that are ideally suited...
