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.

Résumé:
To commemorate the official opening of the Inuit Art Centre, now named Qaumajuq, Winnipeg Art Gallery director and CEO, Dr. Stephen Borys, set out to share the story of this extraordinary museum and building project. His book, Journey North: The Inuit Art Centre Project, traces the history of the centre beginning with the establishment of the Winnipeg Art Gallery in 1912, when the foundation was laid to support a diverse and far-reaching mission that could embrace both historical and contemporary artmaking on national and international levels. By the time director Dr. Ferdinand Eckhardt arrived at the gallery in 1953, and discovered Inuit stone carving at the Hudson’s Bay Company department store located across the street from the WAG, the idea of assembling a collection to celebrate this Indigenous art form moved closer to reality. This account of the development of the Inuit Art Centre includes different historical and contemporary perspectives and voices through a compilation of texts and images. In addition to the key essay by the book’s author Stephen Borys, several writers from across the country have shared their stories about the gallery, the Inuit art collection, and the building project.

Résumé:
Despite its name, documenta’s primary concerns are neither with the simple documentation of individual artists and their work nor with developments in art history, but instead with providing a historical space where art reflects and comments on social constellations and political or social change, or demands it through art interventions. documenta is not only a historical testimony and event, but also a show at which – through the medium of art— self-interpretation becomes the catalyst for debate and historical change. For the first time, this book places the history of documenta in the context of the political, cultural and societal development of Germany during the second half of the twentieth century, illustrating how art and history can be explored in terms of a mutually dependent relationship.

Résumé:
This book is split into six chapters that proceed more or less chronologically. It begins by exploring the origins of the museum both as a cultural phenomenon and as a particular type of space. Central to this, as the first chapter explores, was the ‘princely collection’, that is, collections of painting and sculpture assembled by royalty and the nobility across Europe that began during the Renaissance and continued during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Although varying both in extent and artistic focus, the motivations driving the establishing of these early collections generally derived from their creators’ desires to fashion learned and enlightened images of themselves and their courts. With some exceptions, admission to these collections was limited to the social elite and those that they were trying to impress. The idea that collections should be open to a wider social group began to emerge during the eighteenth century with the advent of the wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities. These contained not just works of art, but all manner of objects, from natural history specimens to religious or cult artefacts, and everything in between.

Résumé:
This publication accompanies the exhibition “Making the Museum Reinhard Ernst”. The exhibition’s focus is not on finished items or images, but on the work in progress – highlighting the acts of thinking, making, and construction, rather than presentation. Based on four thematic areas – Context, Form, Detail and Construction – a large number of sketches, drawings and models by Maki and Associates as well as artefacts and video material provide insights into the complex process of creating the new building. The exhibited items presented on the four thematic quadrants at Aedes are supplemented by photos from the photographers Klaus Helbig and Frank Marburger, who have documented the making of the museum from the beginning.
