The SoHo Center for the Visual Arts was founded by Larry Aldrich in 1973 in an area of New York inhabited by many artists whom the Center was intended to benefit; it included a Library specifically for artists, developed by Bernard Karpel. The Library’s collections emphasised twentieth-century art and were organised by means of colour-coding in place of orthodox classifying. The Library was staffed by artists, and was well used until its closure in 1985; it has subsequently been reopened within the New Museum of Contemporary Art.

La Fondazione Prada de Milán, Italia, es un paradigma y un ejemplo del mecenazgo moderno. En este documento se analiza de qué forma un museo de arte contemporáneo puede generar cambios positivos en el barrio donde se localiza, más aún si ese vecindario se ubica en una zona periférica de la ciudad que ha pasado por un proceso de degradación urbana. Veremos el caso de un museo como elemento rehabilitador de infraestructura y un espacio de estímulo para la creación y producción de cultura. El museo le da una nueva vida a una edificación abandonada que anteriormente estaba destinada a la producción industrial. Los amplios espacios de manufactura, hoy en día abandonados, son ideales para instalar obras de arte contemporáneo.  Palabras clave: Fondazione Prada, Miuccia Prada, Rem Koolhaas, museografía moderna, cultura contemporánea, arte contemporáneo   AbstractThe Fondazione Prada in Milan, Italy, is a paradigm and an example of modern patronage. This document analyzes how a museum of contemporary art can generate positive changes in the neighborhood where it is located, especially if that neighborhood is located in a peripheral area of thecity that has gone through a process of urban degradation. We will consider the case of a museum as an infrastructure rehabilitation element and a stimulus space for the creation and production of culture. The museum gives a new life to an abandoned building that was previously destined forindustrial production. The large manufacturing spaces, now abandoned, are ideal for installing works of contemporary art. Keywords: Fondazione Prada, Miuccia Prada, Rem Koolhaas, modern museography, contemporaryculture, contemporary art
