Architecture for Art Spaces

Juan Herreros presents “Architecture for Art Collecting,” a lecture exploring the role of architecture in creating spaces designed to house, preserve, and display art collections. Through recent projects, the talk will address how architectural design responds to the specific demands of collecting -ranging from conservation conditions and lighting to the dialogue between the artwork, the space, and the viewer- thereby creating environments where architecture and art mutually enhance one another.
