An architect is a professional who deals with the design, planning, and construction of buildings. The most important aspect of being an architect is his ability to transform an idea into a reality. Before designing a building, an architect has to consider a lot of factors. Designing a museum building could be considered especially challenging because of a museum’s unique functions and roles in society.

如何規劃不同的空間以帶動博物館 內部的動力? 博物館就彷如一個小城般運作，不同類型的 活動在其中進行。建築師並不會忘記建築設 計的原意。建築師透過想像在博物館裡面可 能發生的各項活動和體驗而作出巧妙規劃， 令大樓設計不僅成為一幢實在的建築「空 間」，更是個充滿活力、賦予每個參觀者特 殊意義的「地方」。
How to create and organise different spaces to facilitate circulation and activities within a museum? With a variety of activities going on, the museum functions like a small city. An architect never forgets the intent of an architectural design. By envisioning the actual activities and experiences that will happen in the museum, the architect will come up with an ingenious building design that not only creates an architectural “space” but also a vital “place” with particular meaning for every individual.

最後，如何能進一步理解 及欣賞建築設計？
透過建築的研究能鼓勵我們對周遭環境的批評意 識，加深我們對建築和空間設計的欣賞和理解。 博物館會透過收藏繪圖、模型、照片、錄像、文 件及其他文獻資料，記錄人和地方的歷史、鼓勵 建築範疇的研究、從而引導我們反思更廣泛的社 會議題。
在大樓落成前，M+博物館已開始收藏建築作 品，希望藏品能對建築的研究和未來發揮積極 的作用。
What comes after – how can architectural design be appreciated?
The study of architecture encourages our critical awareness of the built environment, and enhances our appreciation and understanding of architectural and spatial design. Through collecting materials such as drawings, models, photographs, videos, documents and other archival materials, the museum records the history of people and their place, encourages research in the field of architecture, and prompts reflection from our visitors about some of the broader issues facing our society.
M+ has already begun collecting architectural works before the museum opens, with the hope that the collection will have a positive effect on the study and future of the discipline.
