Cultural Transformations: Rethinking Spaces & Places for Art

Panel Discussion October 10, 2024 Goethe-Institut New York 30 Irving Place New York, NY 10003 USA

Registration

In this era of reinvention and adaptive reuse, leading cultural institutions are increasingly rethinking their settings and approaches to delivering visual and performing arts resources to their audiences. Seen in museum, library and music projects around the world, the framework of umbau — which includes conversions, renovation and adaptive reuse — is seen as a sustainable approach that builds on community touchstones in creative ways. This design panel shows how this architectural evolution integrates overlays and new suppositions into this future-looking process, nothing less than nonstop transformation of the cultural realm.
