hotels museum future architecture
The article, written by a former New Museum staffer, traces the evolution of museum architecture from the early 2000s starchitect era toward a hospitality- and community-focused model. It cites examples like MoMA's extensive visitor amenities (four restaurants, two retail spaces) and the Williams College Museum of Art's open, evolving design by SO-IL. The piece also highlights the Underground Museum's storefront approach in Los Angeles and the Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York as strategies that prioritize accessibility and community engagement.
