Abstract

For my graduation project I am designing the Neighbourhood Art Centre, which is about implementing a museum in its immediate environment and becoming part of the neighbourhood life by engaging the community to come and be an active role in the museum organization. This paper will be about how the museum of today can be designed to engage the community. It will look at community engagement models and at case studies of participatory projects with communities in museums. Additionally, it will look at the idea of the constituent museum, that puts relationships with participants central. Components of the theory of the ‘liveable city’ by Jane Jacobs will be used to imagine mixed used spaces in the museum that can increase community engagement within the institute.
