Apologies for cross promoting
The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria is
pleased to offer the following 3-day workshop Re/Designing the Museum for
professionals in museums, heritage planning, cultural facilities and related
organizations.
RE/DESIGNING THE MUSEUM
Museums everywhere are contemplating either new construction or significant
renovation to ensure that facilities meet increasingly complex institutional
and public needs. However, even as new spaces hold the promise of fresh
opportunity, they raise profound questions about the nature of the museum, its
role within the community, its sustainability, the politics of collections and
the relationships among its functions.
This workshop explores the tensions and excitement inherent in re/designing the
museum and provides you with a strategic understanding of factors that
influence your museum's architectural planning process. Topics include:
* celebrating the uniqueness of people and place
* the museum as a civic and community space
* the politics of museum architecture from iconographic to
deferential spaces
* factors that motivate your museum's desire for new space
* creating a process that grounds the institution in the
community telling the story
* getting the support of the community
* key partners and consultants in the planning process
* getting the support of the region, ministries and local
interests
* the influence of innovative technologies and virtual spaces
on museum design
* current and emerging community and functional requirements
* issues of access and preservation
* the balance of passion and creativity with economic, spatial
and administrative practicalities
