Linda Taalman, architect: museums need a restaurant, not a fancy shell

Posted on February 22, 2013

Linda Taalman is a Los Angeles-based architect and an assistant professor at Woodbury School of Architecture. When she started her practice 15 years ago in New York, her first project was to design for the new Dia: Beacon museum.  In this video Taalman talks about the museum space as a social space. “It is not really enough to just have the museum program of the art work. I think you need other kind of social interaction as well,” she says.
