designing an contemporary museum

Maybe take more time to learn what contemporary as a concept is (it's lost on me) and figure out how your museum would accommodate that style of thought. in a post modern era, contemporary basically means anything goes, so you have a hard job in my opinion

What ever you do, design it so a flashing exit sign is above every piece, the signs point you to other pieces. With each artwork you question your sanity more as the exit signs flash more intense the further you go. You walk what seems miles and miles until finally the signs lead you to a dead end with chairs. The flashing exit signs point down at the chairs. The attendees then have to sit in the chairs and find an escape via the astral plane and accept that their vessels have become the museum's greatest piece of artwork.

You should take some time to properly define the museum. Contemporary art is a pretty vague. A catalogue is a good idea, but also write a mission statement. I've just copied this from the tate website

>Its mission is to increase the public’s enjoyment and understanding of British art from the 16th century to the present day and of international modern and contemporary art.

so questions you might want to ask yourself
>is there a permament collection or is all just changing installations?
>do you have any specific social issues in mind that the gallery would focus on
>how many artists can show at once, is there room for them to work at a variety of scales?
>
>what is the existing building and what is it used for and can it relate the purpose of the gallery.
>how long do installations stay up for?
>is there a preference towards the type of installation, sculptural, technological/interactive elements ect?
>installation art is often site specific, is there something in the building which is important, historical condition, relationship to a landscape ect?
>does the museum just show the art? often lots of museums host workshops, talks and events. is there a charitable status mission ect

Basically imagine you are actually going to set this museum up. Properly define it aims and goals. Then once thats done take them and make them spatial.

Designing the museum is your job, putting together an exhibition is the curators job. I don't really understand what you're asking

and here lies the problem i have already done and clarified every single topic on your list i have read al the mission statements of the major museums. such as tate/ new museum/ moma/ whitney etc.....

thats why im pretty clueless but i guess im just going to make a catalogus and see from there

here is the remark of my tutor

>>3124119
ah okay i think i understand. Basically all those mediums of installation art are going to have different spatial requirements. Maybe focus on a couple of types of them, eg media and photography, or large architectural ect . That way you can really focus on how to design the museum for that type of installation, lighting, circulation, the feel of the space ect. I assume that your tutor wants you to get more specific because if you just say installation art you can fall into the trap of designing for all types and making something generic which works for all types but might not show them in their best light.

Architkfag here. KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid.

Start with something simple and use that to draw the inspirational concept from. Let that starting theme drive the whole thing.

Example. Choose Malevich's Woman With Pails. "all forms in nature could be reduced to the sphere, cylinder, and cone" or abstraction....

Choosing a number of paintings will make for a too complex start.

You are literally retarded. OP is asking for advice on brief development, not how to go from concept to form. Also that's shit advice anyway, going directly from a piece of art to building is idiotic.

>>3124141
the professor is asking you to narrow down what type of art should be displayed. You can't have all the types of art you listed.

looks like prison cells

>>3124488
yes i figured as much
im now going to make a list of demands for my museum and start working the other way around.

>>3124598
it used to be a silo storage but i like that you see prison cells in it

>>3124473
XD haha

i hope that image isn't of your actual design.
>weird shit going on with your render meshes,uncapped edges ect
>square concrete columns suddenly become small circular ones. Better not be because of that curving ramp on the left.
>ruining a massive open atrium space by putting fucking escalators in

Come on man, your doing a masters, those are undergrad level mistakes.
