What is a Museum Now?: Snøhetta and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

by Snohetta (Author), Rebecca Solnit (Foreword), San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art (Contributor), Justin Davidson (Contributor), Andrew Russeth (Contributor)

What is a Museum Now? asks about the role of a museum in contemporary society. All of Snøhetta's work is formed by the interaction between humans and their physical surroundings. Regarding this connection, the design studio recognized that a museum is a mediator between art and life. This book contains a detailed and extensive documentation of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's expansion, conducted by Snøhetta. The studio evolved the SFMOMA as a new form of art appreciation where the experience is an extension of the life of the city itself.
