Design for the cultural sector

Article Abstract:

Cooperation between architects and artists is facing a new challenge during the renovation of a Grade II listed building in Birmingham, England, into The Ikon art gallery. Within the group responsible for the design plans is the artist Tania Kovats who not only looks at the space defined for art display but is influential over the whole project. Due to the conditions set out for funds awarded from the Lottery such collaborative ventures will be more common in the future.
