GRAND RAPIDS ART MUSEUM GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, USA (1983) https://lnkd.in/esSAhwYC This proposal revitalizes the city's downtown area by reusing a distinguished, but now vacant, former government building and by adapting a number of abandoned or underused neighboring structures for additional cultural functions. The main 1908 Beaux-Arts building is upgraded to meet codes and programmatic requirements. A relocation of the entrance from the closed side of the U-shaped building to the open court-yard establishes a direct physical relationship between the museum and its surroundings while creating a single, unified entrance. Covering the court-yard, a translucent inclined plane of stairs has an opening at its center that leads to the Grand Foyer which is a shared space for the different departments. Water descends slowly and evenly from the top of the stairway along a channel carved into the plane, leaving a clear pedestrian path for those walking up the stairs. This water is, in fact, the very water used for the air-conditioning system. In this way, the need for an unsightly cooling tower has been eliminated and this silent cascade becomes the focal point of the city's newest public space.

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.

All about Floating Glass Museum, built to highlight and flight climate change There is an innovative project fusing art and sustainability that is gaining global traction. This is the Floating Glass Museum unveiled by the architecture firm Luca Curci Architects, which is a striking blend of traditional glass craftsmanship and eco-conscious innovation aimed at raising awareness about climate change. While experts have outlined the potential impacts of climate change, such as intensified weather disasters and rising sea levels, there remains scepticism among some despite the scientific evidence. This Floating Glass Museum will serve as a global initiative, symbolising environmental consciousness through contemporary artistry. https://lnkd.in/gvfRxkN5 #floatingglass #Museum #built #flight #climatechange #initiative #symbolising #environmental #consciousness #travel #traveling #travelindustry #travelagent TraveLICE TraveLICE Customercare

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

How does Promat SYSTEMGLAS® help to maximise visitor engagement, safety and asset protection in museums? Building design is key to the success of any museum, regardless of its size. And whilst there is no standard formula for how a museum building should look, there are a number of common goals that lie at the heart of designing these environments, including maximising daylight. Internal glazing is used extensively to achieve this aim as well as to assist with visitor flow and ensure there is visual connectivity between spaces. In many cases, glass elements also contribute to the visitor experience, adding to the aesthetic appeal of the museum. But it is also likely to perform a protective role too, preventing the spread of fire between internal spaces should the worst happen. In fact, the fire strategy in general in museums is critically important, not only to protect visitors and staff, but to ensure the often unique and invaluable assets they accommodate are not lost forever in the event of a fire. Hence why Promat SYSTEMGLAS® can play an important role in creating glazing elements within museums as one of our recent projects in the Czech Republic demonstrates.

"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.

The visitor experience journey begins before the first point of arrival. Planning and finding your way there, and getting yourself around, are all part of the experience. How can museums respond?

Mimarlık lisans eğitiminde aldığım Müze Mimarisi dersi kapsamında, konsept tasarımlarımdan biri olan graffiti-street art museum projemi yeniden ele alıp detaylandırdım. Behance üzerinden göz atabilirsiniz! Here's my revisited concept project from the museum architecture course I took during my undergraduate education in architecture. You can check it out on Behance! #architecture #portfolio #museumarchitecture #graffiti #installation #graphicdesign
