Following on the widely read The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues, which explored how museums are changing through conversations with today’s generation of museum directors, New York-based author and cultural strategy advisor András Szántó’s new compilation turns its attention to architects. The conclusion of The Future of the Museum was that the “software” of art museums has evolved. Museum leaders are “working to make institutions more open, inclusive, experiential, culturally polyphonic, technologically savvy, attuned to the needs of their communities, and engaged in the defining issues of our time.” It follows that the “hardware” of the art museum must also change. Conversations with a carefully selected group of architects survey current thinking in the field, engaging not only architects who have built some of the world’s most iconic institutions, but also members of an emerging global generation that is destined to leave its mark on the museum of the future.CONVERSATION PARTNERS:Stephan Schütz (gmp Architekten), Jing Liu & Florian Idenburg (SO – IL), Xu Tiantian (DnA Design and Architecture), Li Hu & Huang Wenjing (OPEN), Ma Yansong (MAD Architects), Winy Maas (MVRDV), Paula Zasnicoff Cardoso & Carlos Alberto Maciel (Arquitetos Associados), Bjarke Ingels (BIG | Bjarke Ingels Group), Kerstin Thompson (_KTA), Minsuk Cho (Mass Studies), Kabage Karanja & Stella Mutegi (Cave_bureau), Kulapat Yantrasat (WHY), Elizabeth Diller (Diller Scofidio + Renfro), David Chipperfield (David Chipperfield Architects), Eduardo "Roth" Neira (Roth Architecture), Frida Escobedo, Liam Young, David Adjaye (Adjaye Associates), Sou Fujimoto (Sou Fujimoto Architects), Lina Ghotmeh (Lina Ghotmeh – Architecture), Kunlé Adeyemi (NLÉ)ANDRÁS SZÁNTÓ (*1964, Budapest) advises museums, cultural institutions, and leading brands on cultural strategy.
