The Future of Museum and Gallery Design explores new research and
practice in museum design. Placing a specific emphasis on social
responsibility, in its broadest sense, the book emphasises the need
for a greater understanding of the impact of museum design in the
experiences of visitors, in the manifestation of the vision and
values of museums and galleries, and in the shaping of civic spaces
for culture in our shared social world. The chapters included in
the book propose a number of innovative approaches to museum design
and museum-design research. Collectively, contributors plead for
more open and creative ways of making museums, and ask that museums
recognize design as a resource to be harnessed towards a form of
museum-making that is culturally located and makes a significant
contribution to our personal, social, environmental, and economic
sustainability. Such an approach demands new ways of
conceptualizing museum and gallery design, new ways of
acknowledging the potential of design, and new, experimental, and
research-led approaches to the shaping of cultural institutions
internationally. The Future of Museum and Gallery Design should be
of great interest to academics and postgraduate students in the
fields of museum studies, gallery studies, and heritage studies, as
well as architecture and design, who are interested in
understanding more about design as a resource in museums. It should
also be of great interest to museum and design practitioners and
museum leaders.
