Cultural Architecture Ahead Of Our Time

Re-imagining the contemporary museum, exhibition, and performance space.
This publication studies the most innovative examples of performance and exhibition architecture today. These are projects that revolutionize architecture on many levels, including sustainability, aesthetics, technology, and urban design.

It is interesting to point out that these works are not concentrated in one specific region, but are located in every corner of the globe; from MVRDV’s Comic and Animation Museum in China, to the new Broad Museum in Los Angeles by DS + Renfro, or Kengo Kuma’s Victoria and Albert Museum in Dundee, Scotland.

The architecture for performance and exhibition, being museums, galleries, music halls, pavilions, etc., has been in the leading edge of architectural innovation throughout the history and evolution of the discipline. Architects and designers experiment on new aesthetics, concepts, and ideas with projects that tend to have a flexible program and a large budget. In many cases, the main requirement of such structures is not only to accommodate a specific program but also to inspire the imagination of its users and challenge the current state of architectural design.

The iPad version of eVolo Magazine includes all the content of the printed edition and has been specifically designed for an intuitive navigation with interactive content and detailed photos, plans, sections, and elevations.
