eventdetail
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

For visitors, art museums are places of pleasure, education and contemplation. As a building type, art museums offer architects unparalleled opportunities for architectural investigation and experimentation. Based upon his new book, The Architecture of Art Museums—A Decade of Design: 2000-2010, Ronnie Self's lecture explores some of the most important museums built at the beginning of the 21st century in the United States and Europe and the lessons they reveal.

Self is associate professor of architecture at the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture at the University of Houston. He is a registered architect practicing in Houston and previously worked in the Paris office of Renzo Piano Building Workshop for 12 years where, among other projects, he was the architect in charge of the Atelier Brancusi for the Centre Georges Pompidou. He writes regularly on recently completed projects throughout the United States for American and French magazines.
