The Art of Choosing a Museum Architect, with Susanna Sirefman

2d ago 56:47

MP3•Episode home

How do you choose the right architect for your museum?

Is architecture about more than a building? Is architect selection about more than architecture? What is a design “brief”? Why are museum projects on “elephant time”? Are anonymous open design competitions a good thing? What comes after “good design is good business”?

Susanna Sirefman (President, Dovetail Design Strategists) discusses “The Art of Choosing a Museum Architect” with host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners | The Exhibition and Experience Design Studio).

Along the way: cello studies, Winston Churchill, and two lions named Patience and Fortitude.

Talking Points:

1. Design excellence is a basic human right
2. Architecture is about more than a building
3. Architect selection is about more than architecture
4. Selecting the right architect is vital
5. Ask the right questions and you’ll get the right answers
6. Moving beyond “Good design is good business”
