DECEMBER’S ISSUE AIMS TO EXTEND DILLER SCOFIDIO + RENFRO’S CHALLENGE TO MEMBERS OF THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY. WE ASKED YOU TO ENVISION YOUR OWN SPACES FOR ART. AND HERE THEY ARE TOGETHER IN THEIR DIFFERENCES.
WHAT DO WE SEE WHEN WE IMAGINE MUSEUMS? WHAT ARE OUR REFERENCES? CAVERNOUS MONUMENTS TO THE BEAUX ARTS? SLEEK CULTURAL CONTAINERS IN GLASS AND BUFFED TITANIUM? OR SOMETHING MORE IMPROVISED? CAN WAREHOUSES BE MUSEUMS? CAN CITY WALLS DISPLAY A WORK? WITH THEIR VISION FOR THE NEW BAM/PFA, DILLER SCOFIDIO + RENFRO URGE US NOT TO CHOOSE JUST ONE UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE ART CAN HANG. RATHER THAN SIMPLIFY, THEIR PLAN TANGLES CURRENTS OF HISTORY AND DESIGN INTO A SPACE WHERE ALL OF IT CAN INTERSECT.
