Abstract
Even though it is widely recognized that museum
objects, display design, and museum architecture
greatly affect each other when it comes to museum
exhibitions, their actual integration – during both
the process of developing exhibitions and in the
final result – is often lacking. This paper will
explore an alternative approach to museum
exhibition design, in which object scale, display
scale, and architectural scale are integrated and
worked with as a single malleable design material.
Based on the analysis of a student project
conducted at the MA program Spatial Design at the
Royal Danish Academy and drawing on theoretical
perspectives on fluidity and temporality within the
fields of contemporary architecture and interior
design, the paper will investigate the potential of
an exhibition design practice that works in the
object/display/architecture nexus.
