The remnants of these emotional wars are collected and displayed in museums. Museums are archives of memories; some contemplative, others emotional. It is in these hallowed halls that people seek to pay homage to great works of art throughout history or to commemorate the beloved sometimes, it's simply to express ideas and sentiments. Architects and artists have made it possible for others who can only afford to drool in the face of beauty. The likes of Guggenheim de Bilbao and Denver Art Museums educated the public on how a structure that houses masterpieces may be mind-boggling artefact in itself. In this issue, we allow the maestros to lead us through their accomplishments. In Steven Holl's Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (Pg 65), we observe the fusion of architecture with landscape to form new spaces and angles of vision. Moshe Safdie's extension of the Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem (Pg 36) that honours the memory of those who perished during the Holocaust is housed in a display of dramatic curves. On a rather playful note, Dalki Theme Park in Heyri, Korea (Pg 73) demonstrates design on a whim. The colourful MUSAC in Le—n (Pg 82) allows for a liberated articulation of space where art is comfortably at home. They performed and we shall applaud.
