About
What is a Museum Now? asks for the role of a museum in contemporary society. This book contains a detailed and extensive documentation of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s expansion, conducted by Snøhetta. All of Snøhetta’s work is formed by the interaction between humans and their physical surroundings. This book presents the most recent investigation by Snøhetta into how architecture can nurture social interaction and diversity, fostering relationships where the world of the imagination and the realities of our lives come together. Accompanied by behind-the-scenes sketches, drawings and photographs that detail the design and construction process, this book is in itself an intimate engagement with the building, its art, its directors and curators, its inhabitants and its creators.
