  • Towards Participation in Museum Architecture
    TOWARDS PARTICIPATION IN MUSEUM ARCHITECTURE Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Aikaterini Vlachaki School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester 2020 2 Abstract Towards Participation in Museum Architecture Aikaterini Vlachaki This thesis sets out to explore how museums can use the planning processes of museum buildings as a vehicle for fulfilling their social role, even before their establishment as physical entities. Considering people as experiential co-designers who hold a valuable tacit knowledge of design and museum matters, museums can transform the planning processes into a participatory endeavour. The thesis examines two examples of innovation in practice, two museum buildings built from scratch or redeveloped through participatory processes: The Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art (USA) and The Derby Silk Mill Museum of Making (UK). The first key finding of the thesis is that participatory intentions are not solely results of a purely social agenda, but also of a wider institutional agenda that could potentially seek to legitimise certain inequalities through a participatory endeavour. The research also found that the role of leadership is key for both inspiring and sustaining participatory initiatives. Another key finding is that a project widely communicating its participatory character could in fact involve similar forms and degrees of participation with a project with a less systematic approach towards its participatory nature. Additionally, the research shed more light on the systematisation of participatory planning processes of museum buildings and their key challenges and found that the source of funding could impact the degree of experiential co-designers’ participation in the project and “alienate” the outcomes from the initial participatory intentions.

    25th Annual Undergraduate Research, Scholarship & Creative Activities Conference Poster Sessions Arts Exhibit Oral Sessions Friday, April 25, 2014 Friday, April 25, 2014 Saturday, April 26, 2014 3–6 p.m. 3–6 p.m. 1–6 p.m. Freeborn Hall Freeborn Hall Wellman Hall Rooms Sponsored by: Undergraduate Education and the Division of Student Affairs 25th Annual Undergraduate Research, Scholarship & Creative Activities Conference WELCOME 2014 Dear Colleagues, Presenters and Guests, Welcome to the 25th annual UC Davis Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities Conference. This two-day event brings together students from each of our colleges and divisions to showcase the unique community of research and learning at UC Davis. I am very proud of the fact that in its 25-year history, the conference has grown dramatically. Nineteen students participated in the original conference in 1990; this year, more than 500 students will present their research. This phenomenal growth indicates the value UC Davis places on fostering undergraduate research, and demonstrates the quality of our students and the faculty who support, teach and mentor them. The opportunities for undergraduate research at UC Davis are excellent, reflecting our university’s emphasis on working toward solutions for the most pressing global problems. Undergraduates receive mentoring not only in their home departments, but also from faculty in our professional schools, including the School of Medicine and the School of Veterinary Medicine. Our students work in laboratories seeking new treatments for cancer, Alzheimer’s and neurotrauma, participate in developing agricultural solutions to world hunger, and contribute to engineering projects from prosthetics to alternative energy sources.
