A great deal has altered in Eastern Europe society and culture during the 1990s, which has had an effect also on the museum community. New economic models and changing ownerships of museums (state, municipal, foundation, private) have emerged. New mission statements have been discussed in many museums. The involvement of museums in developing tourist industries, how they both compete and cooperate with other cultural institutions, the modernisation of museums and the improvement of their professionalism, the need to increase their institutional autonomy and the role of the state in the preserving of the collections - all those questions and many others are the subject of lively discussions in Eastern European museums today. How do architecture museums and architecture centres meet the needs of our new societies? What kind of new activities, innovative ideas and programmes have been offered by them for professionals and for the public? What possibilities (economical models, cooperation programmes) have been used for making architecture museums active and visible in contemporary cultural life? - these and other questions should be discussed during the session. Free evening The session will be divided into three parts. The first part takes a look at very recent projects of the architects Diener & Diener, including projects for Berlin (Pergamonmuseum), Rome (Museum for Contemporary Art), Lucerne (Sammlung Rosengart). The second will be the new type in the landscape of museums: The "Schaulager" in Basel, built by Herzog & de Meuron. The third will deal with critical reactions to recent developments concerning the public reception, from both the visitors and museum professionals. 12pm - 1pm Lunch: Palmenhaus According to Karl Marx "all that is solid melts into thin air", and to day the world is changing at an ever faster rate. New buildings are going up and old ones disappear. Never has our built environment been transformed so rapidly. And probably has the interest in architecture never been greater than now. This must be why we now see a new wave of architectural museums developing in many countries. One obvious example is the Architekturzentrum Wien that we will get to know during this congress. But there are many more. In this session we will present some of the new projects. We will not only focus on buildings, but also on content. How do institutions with new buildings define their role in society? Free evening Historically, architectural productions, from sketches to photographs of built work, have fitted into discrete categories for private collectors and institutions such as museums in order to codify them as quantifiable works of Art. Today's digitally literate designers are radically changing the way architecture is conceived, conveyed, and constructed. As a result of this new digital realm, museums can no longer rely on methodologies that were once used to quantify hand-sketches produced by a designer as a valid way to evaluate digital designs as works of Art. While this is a very formative time in the pedagogy and practice of digital architecture, it is also an important time for museums that collect architectural productions and evaluate what constitutes a digital work of Art. What constitutes an original drawing in the arena of digital design? Should we be looking at other disciplines such as Photography and Video Art as models? Is the work of art a three-dimensional design that can only be viewed through a computer screen? And if so, how and what is needed to acquire and sustain the computer hardware for posterity? These are just a few of the issues this session will address. And finally, in order that we might understand better how today's designers are using digital mediums to produce their Art; one presenter might be a digital designer. 12pm - 1pm Lunch: Architekturzentrum Wien From archives to citizenship ["la Cité"], a journey through
research and museums: the example of the Perret exhibition in Le Havre,
September 2002 - January 2003 Auguste Perret (1874-1954) and his brothers created, from 1900 on, a very remarkable firm for architectural conception and reinforced concrete construction, the only one of its own in France, where architects and contractors lived in separate worlds. It allowed them, in a mix of experiments and architectural design, to elaborate a number of major buildings, some of them landmarks of French 20th century architecture, in which technical and tectonic solutions led to stylistic definitions-what Auguste Perret advocated in the '30s as 'l'ordre du béton armé'. Their new town centre for Le Havre in Normandy was among the most elaborated answers to the difficult issue of post-war reconstruction in France. Their archives were taken in charge very early, before 1960, by a high school institute, and later on given to the IFA where they are currently being digitised. These impressive holdings permit to trace back the very thoughtful development by the Perrets of an architectural, constructive, and urban theory. Thanks to the 30,000 drawings, a major exhibition was prepared during the last years. The city of Le Havre offered to share its preparation with the IFA and to host its first display, in order to reconcile its inhabitants with their never fully accepted new town, recently inscribed on the list of mankind heritage by the UNESCO.
