A “voice” will come through if you design one or not, so be conscious of how you are communicating with the public. A collection of films, television series, and video media pertaining to arts and culture, all collected by our team. You may set off on a linear route, but an image distracts you, pulls you off track; you double back, wonder whether you have seen something already, perhaps miss things and find them later. Here, the show is spread over two galleries, and the slightly broader slabs have become 3.3m-high plinths, painted light grey, surrounded by bare walls painted a midnight blue. The Foundation's photographic archives include digital images of nearly all works, enabling us to supply visual material to potential borrowing institutions. Ten museums from across the globe, including a zigzagging museum in Berlin and a tree-canopy-like museum in Budapest, are among the buildings in this roundup to mark International Museum Day on 18 May.

New, outdoor, top-floor courtyards, and flexible live programming spaces to encounter boundary-breaking performances and concerts, will round out a visit to The Broad of the future. "We were enchanted by the multitude of trees in the city park and inspired by the space created by them," said Fujimoto. "I envisaged the open floor plan, where boundaries between inside and outside blur, as a continuation of the natural environment." House of Music is a museum dedicated to the history of music in Budapest's City Park designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto to mimic the feeling of being under a tree canopy.

This month, steel is being celebrated in a different way at the city’s Carnegie Museum of Art. As part of its Forum Series of commissioned art from living artists, the museum will present “Land Stitches Water Sky,” a multiton sculpture of steel by the interdisciplinary artist Marie Watt that explores the region’s industrial history with I-beams and glass. A good case should effectively highlight the artwork but must not distract from it. It should also not distract from the overall design of the gallery or exhibition, be it simply the 'white cube' template or a more complex aesthetic. Thus, exhibition designers have to decide between all glass cases, wooden frames, metal frames, or painted frames.

Do you want visitors to touch the display unit or do you want to keep your artifacts behind a glass? You may prohibit touching of exhibits but you can make your design graphical through signs, video screens, or go as far as incorporating augmented reality. Your design should be a responsive and dynamic collection of arts and dramas of life. The Barbican Art Gallery, another Brutalist landmark in London, hosted a show last year on the US photographer Dorothea Lange, best known for her images of the Great Depression. It was designed by Mary Duggan Architects—the first such job for this new firm. “I like to work with architects who haven’t necessarily done many exhibitions,” says the show’s curator Alona Pardo, who hopes they can “reinvent the wheel”.
Located on the site of a former fortification, the complex will become a culture hub rooted in remembrance. Explore part of the museum’s collection in this free display presenting modern designs through these three interconnected roles. For example, photographs have to be placed behind 18mm-thick glass for protection, Pardo says.
With forty-two inches of space on either side of the footprint, it allows for flexibility of movement, so that it can gently roll laterally in the event of an earthquake. This innovative approach ensures its longevity while embodying the dynamism of the city it calls home. ‘This will be one of the safer places where people can be in the city during an earthquake,’ she notes.
The buildings not only perform well, but they integrate themselves into the life of the city, as if they have always been there. From Beaubourg to The New York Times Building, they fully embrace the space and energy of their urban contexts. All collections and exhibits must be suitably protected from theft, vandalism and accidental damage.
Ennead Architects and KSS Architects have just unveiled the design for the Jean & Ric Edelman Fossil Park Museum of Rowan University. The museum is located at the heart of a 65-acre fossil park in Mantua Township, New Jersey. Spanning 44,000 square feet, the program focuses on exploration, preservation, and education. Moreover, it allows citizens and scientists to have the unique opportunity to participate in fossil excavation alongside research actively. The visitor and the researchers will study the events leading to the fifth mass extinction, all within the confines of a 66-million-year-old former quarry. The project is scheduled to open its doors to the public in early 2024, positioning itself as a symbol of scientific exploration and environmental stewardship.

The deal isn’t a jackpot for L.A., which has long been promised its own satellites. Enjoy delicious, ethically sourced drinks and snacks in our new space designed by Matthew Williamson with stunning views to Holland Park. Discover the design evolution of the skateboard from the 1950s to today – a story of design, performance and communities progressing together. The exhibition is also host to a skateboard ramp – skaters can book an Open Skate session + exhibition ticket combined. This major exhibition celebrates the life and work of one of the greatest Italian designers of the 20th century, Enzo Mari, whose designs have inspired generations of creatives around the world. The A+D Museum explores the definitions of architecture and design, from the conceptual to professional practice.
What, after all, is retail design for but to capture the rapt attention of the viewer? It is the kind of close scrutiny that Rosenheim sought for those small yet vivid Arbus photos. With the vast, noisy and visually vivid moving-image works of those shows, the struggle is to create coherent routes and discrete space rather than gain visitors’ attention. But getting people to pay close attention to smaller pieces is a challenge.
Brooklyn-based firm SO-IL has revealed the design for a new campus art museum at Williams College in Massachusetts, created to become a primary teaching resource for the institution renowned for its art history program. Since its inauguration in 1926, the Williams College Museum of Art has gathered an expansive collection of over 15,000 works. Through the design of SO-IL, the museum will be able to move into its first freestanding purpose-built home. As a center for learning, the structure should be open to people from all strata of society.
Be creative and think outside the box when planning how the visitors will experience the exhibits. Depending on the exhibits, it is important that there is plenty of space between and around the exhibits so visitors are able to experience them clearly without being crowded by other visitors. All access requirements will be noted in local building regulations, it is important to adhere to these guidelines. However, I would always aim to go above and beyond the minimum requirements to make sure access and use of the museum is enjoyed by all equally as much as possible. As mentioned earlier, it is important that the museum is accessible to all and this should be taken into consideration throughout the design process to ensure access is not an afterthought.
Butterfield says it is “one of the first examples in the 1960s—following Louis Kahn’s Yale Art Center—that really tried to present flexible exhibition space as part of a museum typology”. Some major museums have exhibition designers on staff, while others bring in outside studios. The Broad is designed by world-renowned architectural firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler. With its innovative “veil-and-vault” concept, the 120,000-square-foot, $140 million building features two floors of gallery space to showcase the Broad’s comprehensive collection and is the headquarters of The Broad Art Foundation’s worldwide lending library. The 120,000-square-foot building features two floors of gallery space and is the headquarters of The Broad Art Foundation’s worldwide lending library, which has been loaning collection works to museums around the world since 1984. The Broad welcomes more than 900,000 visitors from around the world per year.
Designed with this location in mind, the architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro wanted to contrast with their neighbors, and thus made a bright metallic perforated exterior. Based on the concept of ‘the veil and the vault’ this perforated ‘honeycomblike’ exterior lies — like a veil — over the ‘vault’ of the building. This porous exterior allows filtered daylight into the indoor spaces, while the cool concrete body that forms the foundation and core of the building grounds the museum’s architecture. Opened in September 2015 with a party replete with celebrities, the building received mixed reviews; with some nicknaming it the ‘cheese grater’ due to its outward appearance. The Joslyn Art Museum in Nebraska announced that the restoration and expiation works led by Snøhetta and Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture (APMA) are nearing completion, as the transformed institution is scheduled to reopen on September 10, 2024.
Looking out of the window, she saw an unemployed man as the Great Depression began to show on the streets of the city. She grabbed her camera and took to the street to photograph him, thus beginning her remarkable career. The structure is designed to adapt to the earthquake-prone city of Los Angeles. ‘The building is essentially constructed like a giant roller skate,’ Director and CEO Sandra Jackson-Dumont told designboom.
