In this issue of C3 magazine, the cultural image of architecture is explored on two fronts: through new directions in cultural buildings and the cultural shift from bygone industry.

Essays by Silvio Carta, Douglas Murphy and Tom van Malderen accompany a total of thirteen selected projects ranging from new art museums, history museums and film archives, to multi-purpose theatre and performance spaces that offer solutions in dealing with large-scale abandoned industrial heritage. Featured projects include De Nieuwe Kolk by De Zwarte Hond, Pérez Art Museum Miami by Herzog & de Meuron, Trahan Architects’ Louisiana State Museum, C-Mine by 51N4E and AP Atelier’s Gasholder Hall.
