Architecture

From April 6- August 20, 2018, Architecture invited visitors to take on an architectural design challenge: making their own museum. 

Prompt cards containing specific architectural challenges—the size and shape of the site, the surrounding vernacular, and the intended use of the space—encouraged participants to think more boradly about the range of decisions architects make when creating a new space. A display shared how the architects of the PMA’s 3 buildings handled these challenges, tying the activity to the museum and inviting visitors to explore these ideas in the galleries.
