Topic: CULTURAL SPACES

An enlightenment model of high and exclusive art is no longer valid, which is emphasized by the European Commission in the current guidelines for ECC. Many researchers of culture believe that temples and monumental buildings are not needed anymore. People prefer spaces for meetings and interaction, and the “Bilbao effect” has been spreading around. Redevelopment of an old brewery is one of the pillars of the European Capital of Culture 2015 in Pilsen. Wroclaw, on the other hand, is completing the National Forum of Music. Many cities are constantly investing in cultural infrastructure. What kind of cultural spaces do we need?
