“I spent more than ten years working on the Neues Museum. It was a wonderful experience, an example of real collaboration between architects, conservationists, curators, client, politicians, the media, and the public. Discussions, even when difficult, were always about ideas. Ideas matter to Germans. They're a reflective people. That's attractive.” PeopleYearsIdeasRealMatterDifficultWonderfulMediaExamplePoliticianTenDiscussionAttractiveMuseumsCollaborationArchitectClientsWonderful ExperienceCurator Author:David Chipperfield

“Alberto Alessi had asked a dozen architects to design a sterling silver tea service - with a teapot, a coffee pot, sugar, creamer, a spoon, and a tray. Our brief was that it didn't matter if it didn't work and cost wasn't the issue. It was a promotional project, not a commercial enterprise, and was going to be showcased in museums. And the coffee and tea piazza, as mine was called, received a great response. It was wonderful to walk into the Whitney museum and see all these objects on the first floor.” IfsFirstsMatterWalksIssuesWonderfulDesignObjectsMinesCostProjectsResponseCoffeeTeaEnterpriseSilverMuseumsPotArchitectSugarDozenSpoonsWhitneySterlingTraysTeapotsCoffee And Tea Author:Michael Graves

“You don't see Los Angeles erecting a museum dedicated to the birth place of the Crips and the Bloods and the Mexican Mafia, with a special guided bus tour highlighting the rise of the crack trade, yet you can hop on a bus in Chicago tomorrow to see the famous locales of murders. I have to imagine there's some wonderful academic book on the sociology of this out there.” BookImagineWonderfulBloodSpecialBirthTomorrowMurderTradeHopsLos AngelesCracksMuseumsChicagoBusDedicatedAcademicSociologyMexicanMafiaHighlightingBirth PlaceCrips Author:Tod Goldberg
