In the face of contemporary media practices and their dynamic impact on form, practice and participation, how and where do we focus attention and development? What methods and models will become prevalent in museum and gallery culture across the next 50 years? What will cultural memory sustain and who is the audience - currently and in generations to come? What social, technological and physical architectures will become relevant to evolving artistic practice?

Liquid architecture is an architecture that breathes, pulses, leaps from one form and lands as another. Liquid architecture is an architecture whose form is contingent on the interests of the beholder; it is an architecture that opens to welcome me and closes to defend me; it is an architecture without doors or hallways, where the next room is always where I need to be it and what I need it to be, Marcus Novak, 1991.

Review the four week online discussion, adding responses and questions in the associated public forum.
