Formation of architectural environment in modern museum complexes

Abstract

The work considers the external factors influencing the architectural environment of modern museums: new technologies and ways of delivering visual information; changing the consciousness of a “consumer” of the museum space; the presence of functions and public spaces “competing” with the museum. The work describes the structural (basic) components of the architectural expositions in museum complexes. Based on the analysis of the Russian and foreign museums, the promising trends and approaches to the creation of the architectural environment in modern museums are identified: 1) polyfunctionality; 2) transition from the “museum-temple” model to the “museum-show” model; 3) boundary merging between interior and exterior; 4) scenario and functional approach to the exhibition environment. Based on the data obtained, it possible to create a model of the integrated approach to the architectural environment in a modern museum complex.
