Contemporary Museums (Architectural Design)

by Maggie Toy (Editor)

Synopsis

This volume looks at the connection between commerce and the new museum exploring how architects are responding to requirements. The issue debates whether museums and art galleries are solely designed for displaying art and artefacts for commercial gain, how much they reaffirm establishment values, are they the religious centres of the generation? Projects featured include: Richard Meier's Museum of Television and Radio, Los Angeles; Norman Foster's American Air Museum, Duxford, Britain; Hans Hollein's Guggenheim Museum, Vienna; Frans Hak's Groninger Museum, The Netherlands; Kisho Kurokawa's Shiga Kogen Roman Art Museum, Nagano, Japan.
