What is it that makes a great space for art? Should architecture be subservient to art? Or should it make a statement of its own? How do the needs of public museums differ from those of commercial galleries, private museums and homes?

Bringing together major architects and designers in conversation with their museum, collector and artist clients, the conference explored today’s most challenging and innovative projects.

Speakers included Kirsty Bell, Craig Dykers, Martino Gamper, Michael Govan, Stephanie MacDonald (6a architects), Gabriel Orozco, Annabelle Selldorf, Peter St John, Francis Upritchard and Peter Zumthor.
