Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. No notes or highlighting. Ex Tate Gallery but little used. See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> Typically, the architect faces one of two situations. He is handed a detailed program by patron, trustees, or staff, and he creates a building exactly fulfilling that pro- gram. When conditions change, the exactly suitable becomes a white elephant. J. Paul Getty wanted an exact replica of a Pom- peian villa, plus such modern con- veniences as plumbing and park- ing. What can be done with it now? Alternatively, nobody knows what they want. Trustees or staff turn to the architect and say, "You must have thought about these things; you know about architec- ture; design us your ideal museum. Write your own program." Kevin Roche did just this at Oakland. Those two situations suggest the approach followed here. The first chapter will deal with four mu- seums that were created by or for single collectors; the second with four created in realization of their architect's vision; the last with some museums that were created by collaboration between the pro- fessional staff and the arc.
