Platform – How Museums Curate to Distribute and Integrate Ideas

With exhibition, teaching, and publication, Alvin Boyarsky prioritized the art and concept of drawing. Many curatorial programs worldwide have subsequently focused on architectural drawings. As a key platform to engage with the public, museums and their curatorial practices convey ideas, explores issues, and expand their influences. The session invites museum curators from Taiwan, the Netherlands, the US, and Germany to discuss how contemporary curatorial practices drive architectural discourses forward.
