It was a challenge to give a title to this issue because of the variety of projects included. Although the projects vary in nature, they do share something in common: that they either serve the general public or are semi-public community spaces operated by the government or non-profit making organizations. These include museum, school, church, clinic, rehabilitation centre and community centre. To call it ‘Institutional SPACE’ may best suit its magnitude. The museum projects covered in this issue bring a broad perspective. It spans from major architectural reconfiguration to specific room design, exhibition layouts, display facilities, and down to signages, lighting, display items and allocation of audio-visual systems. Besides the museum/gallery in the first section, other projects are put together according to their spatial nature for readers’ reference and comparison.
