Mexican architect Ricardo Legorretta created a starkly rectangular design, its main sculptural elements protruding from the flat roof, a deep blue truncated cone and a similarly saturated blue hemisphere. The museum retained Legorretta's familiar bright palette.

The Tech Museum of Innovation had four themed sections within which exhibits cycle in and out: Communication, Exploration, Innovation and Life Tech. Tel: 408.294.8324 (2012).
