FollowThe diversity of materials, processes and modes of creative expression making up our contemporary cultures presents ever more complex challenges for the conservation profession. Whether considering works of art, architecture, products of contemporary design, or other media, the profession is having to adapt to an expanding set of values and demands, while attempting to maintain existing ethics, philosophies and best practices. Nowhere is this seen more clearly than in navigating the delicate balance between the artist’s or creator’s intent and the preservation of original materials and procedures when these appear to be in direct conflict.

The diversity of materials, processes and modes of creative expression that

the conservation profession. Whether considering works of art, architecture,
products of contemporary design, or other media, the profession is having to
adapt to an expanding set of values and demands, while attempting to
maintain existing ethics, philosophies and best practices. Nowhere is this

procedures when these appear to be in direct conflict.

What can Museum Architecture do?
In current debates on museums and participatory exhibition experiences, the centre of attention is on the curatorial and the museological, and in regards to art museums, obviously on the participatory or relational potentials of the exhibited artworks and installations. Hence, it is time now to give attention to the relational aspects of museum architecture, in particular to exploring the relational field between the exhibited (art), the architecture, and the visitor, as well as the engagement or disengagement of museum architecture in exhibition experiences.
