MUSEUM AND GALLERY Time and Place Considerate

Thirteen outstanding and recently completed museums and galleries take centre stage in this monograph. All have been chosen for both their sensitivity towards their surroundings and their ability to create a specific experience for the visitor. Included are such projects as Chipperfield’s, Museum of Modern Literature in Marbach; Nouvels’ Musée du Quai Branly; Zumthor’s Kolumba Art Museum; the Ordrupgaard Museum extension by Zaha Hadid; and Steven Holl’s Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. All are surveyed through extensive photographs that are accompanied by plans and elevations.
