2019 Cultural Infrastructure Index

2019 Cultural Infrastructure Index Cultural Infrastructure 2019 Index The Cultural Infrastructure Index, undertaken by AEA Consulting, seeks to measure investment in capital projects in the cultural sector, identifying projects with a budget of US$10 million or more that were publicly announced or completed within a calendar year. “Cultural infrastructure” comprises museums, performing arts centers, and cultural hubs or districts, and projects tracked include new buildings, renovations, and expansions.

2 3 Case Studies

Anticipating the changes that will be brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the case studies in this year’s Cultural Infrastructure Index focus on the repurposing of existing spaces. As the pandemic redefines how we gather physically, many existing arts spaces will end up repurposed for new patterns of use. While this may not require the level of transformation seen in the spaces highlighted here, arts organizations — and the architects, designers, engineers, and artists working with them — might be well served by these imaginative examples.

The close connection of architecture and landscape is thus central to the design by OPEN Architecture — the tanks and landscape elements are linked by a Z-shaped “Super Surface” of a rolling landscape of trees and grasses that also incorporates a collection of public art. Each of the five tanks on site is uniquely used to house the required program elements: Tank 1 is a two-story pub that often features live music performances. Tank 2 is the restaurant, with a roof deck for outdoor dining. Tank 3 provides space for large artworks and installations — almost unchanged except for an oculus above (retractable, so it can fully open to the elements) and needed improvements for life safety. Tank 4 houses a three- level cube that offers smaller-scale gallery space, offices, and entertainment space. And Tank 5 sees a rectangular prism pass through its gallery space to form two stages on each end. Underneath the Super Surface is an open space that links up three of the five tanks from the underground level, providing more galleries, circulation, and space for mechanical systems. by clearing out the rock below and beside the brewery — TANK Muzeum Susch over a year of explosions and excavation, moving 9,000 tons Outside, gently sloping meadows flow around each tank.
