I've received a number of useful responses to my query about people's
experience in new museums (including one which notes, among other things,
the Guggenheim as a good skateboard venue). Several however, would
indicate my point may have been missed. I am not looking for advice on how
to consider a new museum, rather because I'm considering the worthiness of
name architects, I would like to hear from folks who work in any of those
new museums that have been completed in the last decade, the ones that seek
iconic status, eg the Walker, the deYoung, the Figge, the High, the
Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ft Worth's Modern etc. There are a
lot to talk about. I know about the Wexner of course.
I am curious if any of you work in new museums that, from your point of
view, really work. I am very interested as well in hearing about not
well-known architects if the new space in which you work is very well
designed as a museum, not just an architecturally interesting
building. Thanks, Sacie Lambertson
