Summary:
The Joan Miró Foundation opened in 1975, becoming Barcelona's first public institution to focus entirely on contemporary art. The architect Josep Lluís Sert designed the Foundation's building with clean, airy white shapes of curves and corners and multiple skylights, creating a decidedly Mediterranean-flavored complex arranged around a central patio, with expansive roof terraces above. (Two subsequent expansions to the building were designed by Jaume Freixa, a pupil and longtime colleague of Sert's.) After the first major retrospective of Miró's work occurred in Barcelona in 1968, the artist decided to set up a building to make his work and the work of other contemporary artists permanently accessible to the public. To design the foundation's home, he tapped his old friend Sert, a pioneer in the introduction of modern architecture in Catalonia, who had first met Miró in 1932 and worked with him on the Spanish (Republican) Pavilion at the Paris World Fair in 1937. This volume, one of a series of monographs on new museum architecture, provides a careful look at the design of one of Europe's premier art institutions, and includes an interview with the architects responsible for the recent expansions.

Summary:
En s'opposant aux destructions révolutionnaires et en exposant les chefs-d'oeuvre sauvés, Alexandre Lenoir a été le précurseur d'une conscience patrimoniale. Mais en dehors de ces circonstances exceptionnelles, l'architecture n'a pas vocation à être transportée pour être exposée grandeur nature. Comment alors la montrer ? Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, en 1879, réussit à faire accepter l'idée d'un musée de moulages, comprenant aussi photographies et maquettes d'architecture, installé dans le palais du Trocadéro. Exposer l'architecture est aujourd'hui la vocation de la Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine, qui hérite de cette conscience patrimoniale et la projette dans l'avenir, en associant la conservation à la création, insistant sur l'idée d'un patrimoine vivant et d'une architecture contemporaine respectueuse du contexte où elle s'inscrit. Simon Texier, historien de l'architecture, raconte ici l'aventure fondatrice de la Cité - toute jeune institution culturelle qui réunit trois institutions préexistantes : le musée des Monuments français, l'École de Chaillot et l'Institut français d'architecture. Son ambition est immense : construire et faire partager par le plus grand nombre une culture architecturale et urbaine.

Summary:
The Museum of Modern Art's recent redesign embraces the changing nature of the institution and establishes it as an evolving idea, a flexible entity rather than a fixed treasure house. As the current generation of curators puts its mark on the Museum through acquisitions, exhibitions and installations, the building becomes a place where the history of art is constantly revisited, inquired into and reshaped, by its visitors as well as by its staff. The Museum of Modern Art in the 21st Century is an illustrated overview of an institution that is dedicated to accommodating the diversity of contemporary art and an increasingly complex and nuanced understanding of modern art. An essay by Museum director Glenn Lowry examines MoMA's current role in contemporary art as part of its long history of disrupting established paradigms, focusing on the building as a site where viewers actively experience art rather than passively receive it.
