ABSTRACT
These 14 case studies exemplify the vast creativity that is brought to bear on
solving the complex puzzle that is museum design as well as the variety of perspec-
tives users can take on museums. Visitors are most commonly assumed to be
the primary user of an art museum building, and while they are important, the
buildings in this book illustrate the vitality and creativity offered by considering
other users as well. Seven categories of users emerge from these 14 case studies.
