Here in #Doral, DORCAM (Doral Contemporary Art Museum) stands as a catalyst for learning, creativity, and the binding of a community. Through exhibitions and events that transcend the traditional confines of art, architecture, visionary design, industry, and technology, DORCAM opens its doors wide, inviting not just the connoisseur but the curious, the unseen, the wanderer, and the everyman. In its mission, DORCAM seeks to reflect the nationalities that call Doral home. We are not here to cater to the compliant and the conventional. It is here, where barriers dissolve, and the free exchange of ideas flourishes, each program a dialogue, each piece a conversation. Membership at DORCAM is a bridge, not a gate. It offers a spectrum of #engagement, making it possible for YOU to become part of this community. Members are more than advocates; they are the heartbeat of the #museum, present at virtual receptions and incorporated in every event. They are not just spectators but participants in the ongoing story of DORCAM. Looking ahead, DORCAM approaches their vision of a permanent home in Doral, a sanctuary where #art and #community converge. This future space promises to be more than a museum where residents and visitors alike can immerse themselves in the rich, #artistic heritage of the world. Become part of a community that celebrates art in all its #rebellious forms. Explore our membership options and find your place within DORCAM. Together, we can cultivate a culture of learning and unity that defies the clichéd. And as we move forward, keep your eyes peeled for our Midyear Review of 2024! It will be a bold reflection on the achievements and events that have shaped #DORCAM this year. 💬🎨🎶🎞📸🌠

A 1960s cement factory located on the remote Tibetan Plateau has been transformed into a modern art museum. At an altitude of 3,800m, this is the highest plateau in the world and a remote and ecologically sensitive site. The existing buildings were found to have low concrete strength, and great care was taken to upgrade them to meet modern seismic requirements and thereby ensure ongoing protection of the artworks. The seismic interventions were undertaken with a light touch – adding strengthening where required, installing damping, and utilising base isolation – and were designed to work in conjunction with the existing structures to reduce the scale of new construction. This minimum intervention approach was crucial in reducing the impact of construction works on this ecologically fragile site.

As planners, we often face the challenge of balancing creativity with efficiency. Tools like TestFit Urban Planner have become invaluable in helping streamline early-stage planning processes. Whether you’re working on a multi-family project, hotel, retail, or even something more unique like a museum, having the ability to quickly test layouts and visualize designs can save both time and resources. I’ve found that incorporating tools like this into my workflow not only enhances productivity but also opens up more time for thoughtful design iterations. If you haven’t tried it yet, I recommend giving it a look! #UrbanPlanning #DesignTech #EfficientPlanning #UrbanDesign #DevelopmentTools

You may have noticed that research conducted by Mauritshuis in the Netherlands has sparked significant interest and discussion on social media. If you haven't, researchers tracked the eye movements and brain activity of 20 volunteers as they observed five original artworks and their poster versions. The study found that viewing real art in a museum has 10 times the impact on the human brain than viewing reproductions. From an #inclusivity and #diversity perspective, however, we think several factors remain unexplored and that other aspects of the artwork, rather than its authenticity, explain the differences in engagement.

🎨 Why Are Museums Choosing Framing Projectors for Art Illumination? 🎨 Museums are increasingly turning to framing projectors for their art illumination needs. Here’s why this technology is becoming the go-to choice for curators: 🔍 Precision Lighting Framing projectors allow curators to direct light exactly where it’s needed, creating a perfect balance between highlighting the artwork and minimizing distractions. 🎯 Customizable Light Shape With framing projectors, the shape and size of the light beam can be adjusted to perfectly match the artwork, enhancing the visual impact without overexposing the piece. 💡 Enhanced Artwork Preservation By focusing light only on the artwork, framing projectors help reduce unnecessary exposure to light, preserving the integrity and longevity of priceless pieces. 🌟 Improved Viewer Experience A well-lit exhibit makes all the difference. Framing projectors ensure that each artwork is presented in the best possible light, enhancing the overall visitor experience. #MuseumLighting #ArtIllumination #FramingProjector #CuratorialTech #ArtConservation #ExhibitionDesign #PrecisionLighting #LightingInnovation #GalleryLighting #ArtworkPreservation #CulturalHeritage #LEDLighting #LightingDesign #MuseumTechnology #ArtExhibition
