Résumé

Museums are executed in a certain social and urban context and are the product of a compromise between the ideas and demands of the architects and the users and politicians involved in the decision process. The best and most expressive art museums in the world, such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art by Mario Botta, the Jewish Museum in Berlin by Daniel Libeskind, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm by Rafael Moneo, and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao by Frank O. Gehry, are brought together in this volume. Important sketches, drawings, models, and the buildings themselves are presented with detailed descriptions of the buildings. This wealth of material and information makes the book a comprehensive history of museum architecture in the last decade of the twentieth century, where all important tendencies in contemporary architecture can be compared by using their most original and radical forms.
