This July, two consecutive Tai Kwun Conversations foster a reflection and discussion around key challenges and creative solutions in heritage revitalisation. What are the guiding intervention principles for a living site? Contextualising innovative projects that harmonise new construction with its heritage surrounds, the talks explore how historic landmarks relate to the dynamics of local development and offer new spaces for community, arts and culture. The two international speakers will connect online with our Hong Kong audiences.
Led by visionary architect Frank Gehry, the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s landmark 1928 building is renewed, honoured, and transformed for art, the community, and Philadelphia. This project represents a major milestone in the renovation, reorganisation, and interior expansion of the museum. Timothy Rub shares the value of Frank Gehry’s brilliant plan, explaining how it honours the past, respect the character of a great historic building, and offers a compelling vision of the future.
The event will be conducted in English.
Speaker:
Timothy Rub| The George D. Widener Director and CEO of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (Online)
