Résumé:
The last thirty years of the twentieth century saw the birth of more than six hundred art museums in the United States alone, with equal proliferation in much of Europe. Such projects as Frank Gehry's Guggenheim in Bilbao and Richard Meier's Getty Center in Los Angeles have dominated television newscasts and newspaper headlines worldwide. The success or failure of these new museums, in aesthetic, educational and financial terms, results from a variety of factors, none more important than their architecture. In this unique investigation, architectural historian Victoria Newhouse challenges many hitherto accepted premises of museum design. She demonstrates that new museums are often based on old concepts that no longer apply. This unvarnished analysis is informed by interviews with museum directors and curators, collectors, artists and the architects themselves. Newhouse divides her discussion according to the dominant characteristics of the museums : private collections, single-artist museums, sacred spaces, artists' self-created sites, and museum additions. In addition to the Getty and the Guggenheim Bilbao, the author discusses the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas; the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh; the Kiasma Museum for Contemporary Art in Helsinki; Donald Judd's Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas; the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the Grand Louvre and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris; and many more.

Que reste-t-il des Expositions universelles parisiennes, ces manifestations glorifiant les progrès industriels ou techniques, célébrant les arts à l'occasion et affirmant un goût prononcé pour une ethnologie plus pittoresque que scientifique ?

Résumé:
Que reste-t-il des Expositions universelles parisiennes, ces manifestations glorifiant les progrès industriels ou techniques, célébrant les arts à l'occasion et affirmant un goût prononcé pour une ethnologie plus pittoresque que scientifique ? La tour Eiffel, bien sûr, comme le Grand Palais ou le palais du Trocadéro. Mais la grande majorité des pavillons, faits de bois et de torchis, de brique ou de plâtre, décorés de stuc et de céramique et promis à la destruction à l'issue des festivités, ont disparu. Certaines de ces constructions précaires ont cependant été rachetées ou récupérées par des collectivités ou des particuliers. On retrouve ainsi à Paris ou plus encore en banlieue des dizaines de pavillons anciens ou d'éléments remontés de façon plus ou moins fantaisiste.

Résumé:
Exhibition design has become a significant architectural way to present an idea or a product; to communicate its meaning; to show its beauty; and, ideally, to increase sales. This book shows how trade fair and exhibition design projects have evolved into a perfect demonstration of architectural art: an art that combines the forming of space with the use of materials and lighting to achieve a convincing narrative and setting. Whether we find them in trade fairs or in museums, this book gathers the best recent installations, featured through full-color pictures, drawing plans, and sketches; and supplemented with descriptive text with practical information on manufacturers, furniture, and materials.

Résumé:
"New museum design" provides a critical and compelling selective survey of contemporary international museum design since 2010. It provides an accessible and analytic review of the architectural landscape of museum and gallery design in the 2010s. The book comprises twelve case study museum and gallery projects from across Europe, Asia, North America, Africa, the Middle East and Australia. Each built example is interrogated through an essay and a series of beautiful supporting illustrations and drawings. Where appropriate architectural analysis is cross-scale, extending from consideration of the artefact’s encounter with museum space at the most intimate scale, through detailed architectural readings, to the wider perspective of urban/landscape response. Similarly, the book is not confined in its thematic or architectural ‘typological’ scope, including museums and art galleries, as well as remodellings, extensions and new build examples. "New museum design" provides a critical snapshot of contemporary international museum architecture, in order to: better understand reasons for the state of current practice; reveal and explore on-going themes and approaches in the field; and to point towards seminal future design directions. This book is essential reading for any student or professional interested in museum design.

Résumé:
An analysis of four museums by architectural historian Orietta Lanzarini, built between the 1940s and 1960s, and set up by four of the most groundbreaking Italian architects of the 20th century. With different approaches and strategies, Franco Albini, BBPR, Lina Bo Bardi and Carlo Scarpa rethought and redesigned the Second World War's museums and their purposes. Despite their intrinsic differences, the four case studies show how all these architects' projects sought to achieve two common purposes: to make art education accessible to everyone and to highlight the value of history in building the present.

Résumé:
How have art museums changed in the past century? Where are they headed in the future? Charles Saumarez Smith is uniquely qualified to answer these questions, having been at the helm of three major institutions over the course of his distinguished career. For "The art museum in modern times," Saumarez Smith has undertaken an odyssey, visiting art museums across the globe and examining how the experience of art is shaped by the buildings that house it. His story starts with the Museum of Modern Art in New York, one of the first museums to focus squarely on the art of the present rather than the past. When it opened in 1939, MoMA’s boldly modernist building represented a stark riposte to the neoclassicism of most earlier art museums. From there, Saumarez Smith investigates dozens of other museums, including the Tate Modern in London, the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the West Bund Museum in Shanghai, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. He explores our shifting reasons for visiting museums, changes to the way exhibits are organized and displayed, and the spectacular new architectural landmarks that have become destinations in their own right.
