Enter the museum, the most radical site of experimentation for architecture.
This book tackles the role of architecture in shaping the museum of the future, and its undeniable power in articulating our relationship to art. Only through the museum can we understand what art is and what its growing role in our urban environment might be.
Grenier, researched museum architecture around the world to consider such questions as: How does architecture reformulate the experience of the museum and art itself? To what extent does museum architecture allow art to exist differently in the city?
This book presents different types and forms of museums: the Louvre Abu Dhabi as a replica of a museum-city, inspired by Paris; the Guggenheim Museum and the Centre Pompidou as drive-through museums, shaped in an age when the car is protagonist; the visual database ImageNet, critical to the development of AI, challenges the museum as an encyclopedia; the new wing of the American Museum of Natural History in New York is considered against architecture’s role as enabler of the human experience of nature. Through this analysis, museum architecture is revealed as being a catalyst for a contemporary definition of the urban and esthetic phenomenon and its study essential in understanding why we need it more than ever.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Architects have been reformulating the experience of the museum and art itself, transforming the museums definition: The Louvre Abu Dhabi as a replica of a museum-city, inspired by Paris; the Guggenheim Museum and the Centre Pompidou as drive-through museums, shaped in an age when the car is protagonist; the new wing of the American Museum of Natural History in New York reimagines the institution with organic forms, as a bridge over the philosophical divide between culture and nature; the Hangzhou National Archives of Publications and Culture is built as an imitation of an art piece, to be an immersive experience of history and culture; the upcoming Cartier Foundation in front of the Louvre in Paris with its mobile giant platforms expresses the needs for dynamic architecture to be the site of the invention of culture. Through this analysis, the museum of the twenty first century emerges as the most important site of experimentation for architecture and art. The essential role of the museum as an enabler of a different kind of encyclopedia, as a necessary place in our cities in its potential to call into question the dichotomy between the urban and the wild, or again as withholding a democratization potential in including new forms of technology as forms of knowledge and culture is catalyzed through architecture. Only through the museum we can understand what art is and what its growing role in our future urban environment might be.
