Light for Arts Sake
Light for Arts Sake :
Lighting for Artworks and Museum Displays
Conservation scientists in museums and galleries have a clear understanding of the damage that light can inflict on an object, but what of the designers that create exhibitions to display these precious items? Light for Arts Sake provides a basis for a level of professional expertise for lighting practice in museums.
Rather than portraying conservation and display as having diametrically opposed objectives, the central concept is that the interaction of light and art media is the source for both the visual experience and the degradation of the artwork. Optimal solutions derive from understanding and controlling the interaction process, and the need is for the level of understanding among lighting professionals to be brought closer to that found among conservation scientists.

French Museum Architecture
French Museum Architecture
by ICI Consultants
2013 | | English | 343 Pages | PDF | 15 MB
Designing a museum involves not only conceiving the best way to reveal their collections, but also how to welcome and serve visitors, and how to incorporate the spaces needed for the behind-the-scenes work of curating, restoring, cataloguing and storing. The architects embarking on such a project must carry out in-depth studies and find innovative solutions, whether their mission is to inject new life into a historic museum, to integrate a modern museography, to combine an harmonise an old building with a contemporary space, or to create from scratch a museum that will be acclaimed by critics and the public alike. French Museum Architecture explores these different problematic through forty museum projects, ranging from the Orsay and Quai Branly museums in Paris, to the Lille Museum of Modern Art (LaM) and the Confluences Museum in Lyon, to name but a few. Each project is presented with the emphasis on the thought process behind the creation, exposing the main questions the architects had to address in order to come up with spaces that are efficient, intelligent, welcoming and dynamic, able to fulfil the expectations of a public ranging from academic researchers to the merely curious, and everyone in between.

Norman Foster and the British Museum
Norman Foster and the British Museum
Norman Foster
A landmark in the history of the British Museum and one of Norman Foster's most significant projects to date, the Great Court has reclaimed and reinvigorated one of London's most important public spaces, transforming the Museum. Published to coincide with a major retrospective of Foster's work held at the British Museum, this volume brings together essays, design drawings and photographs to provide an account of the development and completion of Foster's project. An introductory essay by Deyan Sudjic presents the Great Court as the culmination of centuries of change within the Museum - a reconciliation of past and future which has both restored and transfigured the heart of this public institution. Spencer de Grey, a partner at Foster and Partners, documents the design and construction of the individual elements within the Great Court and the vast glazed canopy which surmounts them. The volume is introduced by Norman Foster and illustrated with photographs of the Great Court during its construction and in its spectacular finished state.

Frank Gehry - MARTa Herford
Frank Gehry - MARTa Herford
By MARTa Freunde und Förderer
Birkhäuser Basel | pages 112 | 2005-05-06 | 7,7 MB
English, German
Located at the center of the German furniture manufacturing
industry, Marta, the latest European Museum by Frank O.
Gehry, opened in December 2004 to universal acclaim. Conceived
as a laboratory for redefining the relationship between art,
design, and industry, this Gehry masterwork houses art
galleries, a library, educational facilities, and conference
and cultural meeting rooms.While the gallery is, for Gehry,
an uncharacteristic neutral white cube, it is wrapped in a
series of bulging curvatures creating a dome that announces
his distinctive architectural signature. This book, which
contains previously unpublished material on the design and
construction of the museum, offers insight into the working
process of arguably the world's most famous architect, and
his ideas about the shifting boundaries between industry,
design, art, and architecture
