Connecting the past to the future: architecture and public places |
Helen Norrie |
Helen Norrie is an academic who writes for a range of architecture and art journals. As part of her PhD research she has studied the design of the British Museum, Museum of Scotland and Jewish Museum in Berlin and how the extensions to these buildings have altered the public perception of museums from ‘temples of culture’ to ‘forums’. This provides some interesting ideas to consider in light of the future development of Sullivan’s Cove.
