Panel Discussion | Anchoring a District
11/18/2015, 12:45 pm - 2:15 pm
Cultural institutions – museums and performing arts centers especially – are often described as fulfilling the role of ‘anchoring’ a cultural district – playing a key part in both defining its character and in creating a destination for visitors and locals alike. But how should those ’anchors’ relate to their context – both architecturally and programmatically – and what are the strategies that should be employed to ensure that they play their full role in animating and defining a district?
