Sustainable Futures: Innovations in Museum Techniques, perspective of Asia and Europe
This presentation is based on my field study in Europe (ex. France) and Asia (ex. Indonesia), exploring innovative approaches to museum architecture and exhibition practices that contribute to minimizing environmental impact. Drawing on a review of status and on-going plan in European and Asia museums, the project analyzes the conception and put on ground actions of sustainable initiatives, for example, the application of eco-friendly materials in both construction and exhibition, along with innovative approaches to architectural program management, energy-efficient lighting, and material recycling solutions. The research investigates the potential of measurement tools, designed for reducing resource consumption in museum administration.
Focus on Sub-theme #3 “Museum Techniques & Sustainability”, this research not only demonstrate emerging trends and best practices in sustainability but also identifies the challenges encountered by museum professionals in exhibiting and storing artefacts. Through a comparative approach, it underscores the potential for collaboration and knowledge exchange between Western and Eastern museums in fostering sustainable practices. This study sheds light on the synergies that can be harnessed to propel the international museum community towards a more sustainable future.
