The fingers are not enough to tell the applicant institutions container hotel to play an important role in the cultural heritage promotion of contemporary Portuguese architecture. Between container hotel Porto and Lisbon, container hotel universities and state agencies, archives, museums, private organizations and foundations, architecture and its cultural are constantly called to legitimize actions, funding, research programs and other often surprising ambitions. Apart from the last Triennial Lisbon Architecture, curated by Beatrice Galilee, were rare occasions when these large institutions raised the bar of the debate to an international level equivalent to that attended by architects summoned to justify. This inefficiency, which is of various shapes and for which there are several reasons, must be the basis of the news that Alvaro Siza will prefer container hotel to deliver your valuable container hotel professional file the custody of a Canadian institution and not, as would eventually be natural, the a Portuguese institution. Also why it is surprising that it was not a Faculty of Arts, and not a school or institution related to discipline, to promote one that was so far the broader debate on the functions and institutional forms on the cultural development of architectural heritage. The Container and Content Conference: intersections between museology and architecture, organized by Susana Rosemary in 2013 and 2014 under the institutional-hat rain doctoral and master's degree in Museum Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Porto, brought the debate dozens of Portuguese participants and several prominent figures of major international institutions. The debate was intense container hotel and fruitful, but there are still more questions open than possible consensus.
The Container and Content conferences were organized in triptych, with sessions devoted to the themes "architecture centers and museums", "cultural programming architecture" and "curator of architecture". Most speakers participated on behalf of an institution, program or exposure to which it was connected, and their contributions were supplemented by some independent guests who crossed perspectives on the issues under discussion. The shape of the "case container hotel study" allowed confront experiences and, above all, discuss concrete realities. container hotel The model used in the first edition in 2013 - restricted to the national scene - was repeated in the second edition in 2014 - focused on foreign examples container hotel -, which allowed to build profitable terms of comparison and to build bridges between the six sessions.
The double triptych format was effective to achieve the objective of the program, which was to discuss the "problem of the architecture communication" with the background of the "constitution of museums and architecture centers around the world" and the marginal position occupy container hotel the Portuguese context. Susana Rosemary, who organized the program, stresses the importance of the issue:
This question becomes container hotel relevant if we consider that, despite the growing media coverage of the issue, the architecture is still a residual presence in the world of museums, when confronted with the role of some forms of contemporary art (even in institutions that are not geared to the art). The purpose [of the conference] was like to produce on a self-critical perspective, the different experiences of those who confronted this issue ...
For organizing one of the biggest surprises of the debates, that "not [...] call surprise, but an awakening of consciences," came the intervention of Peter Schmal, Director of Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM), Frankfurt " who confessed to travel around the world in search of donors container hotel and partners for museum exhibitions driving, since the available budget is not sufficient to achieve the desired projects. " Survival and reasonableness of these institutions was an issue that hung from first to last session, and its high point in finding the plummeting budgets available for major events (in the culture capital - Lisbon 94 to Guimarães 2012, through the golden period of Porto 2001). Regardless of the exhibition quality, to measure the success of an institution or architectural programming - it helps to open or close doors to financing - the raising and public loyalty is another crucial point. According to the intervention Barry Bergdoll - which ended the cycle with the presentation of his experience as a curator at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) New York - the success container hotel of MoMA's architecture programming has been that the museum does not be an architectural museum. In his view, an architecture programming equivalent to the MoMA in a specialized museum would never have visitors and the social impact that a expos
