En savoir plus sur le livre
Museum architecture has flourished in recent decades, particularly with art museums designed by renowned architects like Frank Gehry and Renzo Piano. While these facilities have garnered significant acclaim, military museums often face the misconception of being less sophisticated in design and exhibitions. This volume explores over thirty military museums built internationally in the last twenty years, showcasing them through individual entries and vibrant color photography. Some were crafted by prominent architects such as Norman Foster and Daniel Libeskind, while others emerged from the creativity of skilled designers. The book also highlights the innovative exhibition and installation designs by firms like Ralph Appelbaum Associates and Kossmann.dejong, enhancing visitor experiences. These new military museums are contextualized within the broader history of war memorials, a topic that has received limited scholarly attention. They connect to historical commemorations of military victories and the evolution of architectural memorials, especially following the World Wars. John Zukowsky, an architectural historian with a doctorate from Binghamton University, has curated exhibitions and held leadership roles in military museums. He has authored several notable books on architecture and design, contributing to the discourse on the subject.
