Museums as Civic Architecture: A Global Perspective
Museums are proliferating world-wide. As foreign architects design for sites in the US and American firms design for institutions overseas, museum architecture now exhibits a broad range of formal composition and aesthetic sensibility. Regardless of their programmatic or economic objectives, contemporary museums range from the harmonious and reposeful, e.g. Tadao Ando’s Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth to the visually discordant, e.g. Daniel Liebeskind’s Jewish Museum in Berlin, to the iconic, e.g. Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
This illustrated presentation will explore these differences and their implications for the creation of a global civic architecture.
