A panel consisting of Howard Fox, Ming Fung, Brooke Hodge, Coy Howard, and Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter engage in a discussion questioning the museum’s role in contemporary culture. They discuss how cultural institutions succeed and fail, as well as specific questions of typology, program, materials, and light. With Joe Day they discuss the Los Angeles County Museum of Arts competition, and why the Rem Koolhaas entry didn’t win. The panelists end with remarks on the future of the museum in the era of the Internet.
