A BUNCH OF SHOW-OFFS

With their ability to revitalise city brands and transform local economies, new landmark museums are covetable architectural commissions. Two new kids on the block – David Adjaye's recently completed Smithsonian National Museum for African American History and Culture in Washington DC, and John Pawson's new Design Museum in London, which opens later this month – are bound to pull in the crowds.

EVENT AGENDA NOVEMBER 2016
 

THE NEW EXHIBITIONISTS: MUSEUM ARCHITECTURE ON SHOW

Text: Simon Keane-Cowell
A raft of new landmark museum projects internationally put themselves on show as much as the exhibits they house.

Peter Zumthor's not happy, apparently.

In a recent interview with CLAD magazine, the celebrated Swiss architect revealed that the renderings released this summer to illustrate his proposed design for LACMA's new Los Angeles home don't do the project justice, being too 'commercial-looking'. His studio is working on new ones, he explains, which will hopefully capture the imagination of both his professional peers and the wider public better than the first suite of visuals.

As exhibitionary spaces, museums are themselves sites of scrutiny – highly visible, place-making projects that, if done well, have the power to transform local economies, as well as boost city brands. If executed badly or ill-conceived, they can have more in common with white elephants than white cubes.

If there’s one museum whose forthcoming opening has seen levels of anticipation reach lofty heights, it’s the new home of London’s Design Museum. Migrating from its Bermondsey site, which it has occupied since its founding in 1989 by design grandee Sir Terence Conran and critic Stephen Bayley, to take up residence in the listed former Commonwealth Institute building (with its distinctive copper-clad roof and completed in 1962) in Kensington, West London, the institution’s new interiors come courtesy of respected architect John Pawson – and at the total project price tag of £83 million (€92 million).

A threefold increase in the museum’s size means more exhibition space, while serving as a platform for a collection of the talents: a new permanent exhibition designed by Studio Myerscough, a modified visual identity by Fernando Gutiérrez Studio, and wayfinding by Cartlidge Levene.

N°29: ALAIN GILLES
 
After working in the financial world for five years, Alain Gilles decided to follow his actual passion and go back to studying industrial design in France. Architonic spoke with the Belgian designer about his “second” life and the common ground between finance, political science and design.
Alain Gilles: I want to be able to explore different materials and also mix them. If I had to choose, I would maybe go for natural materials, something that is human enough. I like the reality of things, the touch of the real material.

THE NEW MELLOW LIGHT

The new MELLOW LIGHT is far more than just an innovative LED luminaire. The sixth generation of this office lighting icon sets new standards when it comes to adapting lighting to suit the specific needs of users, with an extensive knowledge about how light affects humans on a visual, biological and emotional level. Daniel Stromborg, Practice Area Leader at Gensler, has succeeded in developing the luminaire’s design while retaining a link to 25 years of lighting history. Immediately recognisable, the form supports the state-of-the-art lighting technology that helps to adapt perfectly to the constantly changing requirements of the office.
