I value how this show innovatively highlights the physical relationship to interior design.

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History has become the first United States museum to earn the LEEDv4 BD+C NC Platinum certification. The $150 million transformation expanded the existing 217,250-square-foot facility to more than 375,000 square feet with more than 2 acres of outdoor visitor areas. #inparknews #themedentertainment #museums #sustainablebuilding #sustainability #sustainablearchitecture #naturalhistorymuseums

"According to the exhibition, many Brutalist buildings “face widespread public aversion” and are dubbed as “ugly” structures globally. However, there is simultaneously a growing recognition of their cultural value, sparking preservation efforts. In fact, the exhibition explores the options these structures are left with, be it renovation or demolition, and the challenges accompanying these decisions." Brutalism enthusiasts and critics alike should visit our latest exhibition, Capital Brutalism! Learn more about it in this article from Arch Daily.

Tarrawarra Museum of Art in Victoria's Yarra Valley has unveiled plans for a new cultural hub designed by Kerstin Thompson Architects in collaboration with Oculus and Wurundjeri horticulturalist and artist Craig Murphy-Wandin.

As museums strive to be more accessible, the architectural response does not need to be an expected or formulaic one. https://lnkd.in/gvVGyixZ

I was struck by this quote from Javier Sainz de los Terreros of the Museo Nacional del Prado when speaking about museum patrons at the NEXTIN Summit in Madrid: “They are now empowered”, he said. “They want to take part in decision making and effect change. Museums have now become listeners.” This sums up the shift as we move from a content-centric world to a community-centric world. It's no long just about just creating content for audiences to passively consume. It's now about creating spaces where fans can come together, connect with each other, and actively shape the experience. Of course, creating this space is a lot easier if you already have a museum. But just providing a space isn't enough. You have to design it to facilitate connections, not just for consumption.

Watch our episode on Liknon: A museum rooted in Greek culture. Link to full interview in the post:

#webreview ArchDaily A Culture of #Reuse: 5 European Museums Embedded into Their Historical Contexts Throughout their relatively recent history, museums have evolved to condense particular aspects of a culture and present them in a coherent and unified manner. This makes the connection between the architecture and the exhibit a crucial matter, as the architect is tasked with designing not only the framework and background of the exhibited arts or artifacts but also taking charge of the journey undertaken by the visitor, harmonizing the cultural gain with the lived spatial experience of walking the exhibition halls. However, not all museums have been purposely built for this task. Across Europe, museums are being organized within or expanding upon historical monuments and buildings that have lost their original purpose. Then in a state of decay, this decision to reorganize them as cultural venues stops the decay and preserves the historical material, adding a new layer of complexity to the intended exhibits. The architect's role becomes that of introducing order and a system that can balance the heritage of the place with the needs of modern functionality, ensuring that the essence of the original structure is preserved while meeting the needs of contemporary exhibitions and public engagement. https://lnkd.in/eQR5mqnd
