From the Wikipedia article
Nottingham Contemporary (formerly known as the Centre for Contemporary Art Nottingham (CCAN)) is a contemporary art centre in the Lace Market area of Nottingham, England. The gallery opened in 2009. The gallery describes its site as being "the oldest in the city", having been the site of a Saxon fort. To celebrate the area's history of lace manufacture, the cladding of the building is embossed with a traditional Nottingham lace pattern. Nottingham Contemporary is a registered charity under English law.

Background
Architecture
The building was designed by the London architects Caruso St John. With over 3,000 sqm of floor space, it is one of the largest contemporary art centres in the UK. The exterior is clad in verdigris scalloped panels with a traditional lace pattern, with large windows that offer direct views from the street into the interior. Owen Hatherley stated that "this might, irrespective of the leaky roof, be the first masterpiece of British architecture of the twenty-first century."
