I believe there is a need for an interchange of ideas and experience on
Museum Planning and new construction - however I also believe that these
discussions should be held on a general museum discussion list such as
this one for two reasons:

        1. the discussions will be archived and available
           to a larger group of individuals

        2. the museum professionals on this list need to be
           informed of the subject matter within these types
           of discussions because these professionals stand
           a good chance of providing input to the planning
           of a new or renovated museum project at sometime
           in their careers.

In other words - planning and new construction is everyone's business!
-----------------------
I am personally involved as a consultant in three projects, with two
more coming up quickly, which involve new construction and I dearly
wish there were some forum in which I could exchange problems and
solutions with others.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I too am a consultant personally involved in planning new museum
projects - serving on Value Methodology Studies for such projects - and
would look forward to discussing problems and solutions with you and
other people involved in these types of museological projects on this
Museum-L.

Kind Regards

Roger Wulff
