Abstract This article analyzed the formal, functional, and structural aspects of the Museum of Contemporary Art Niterói in Brazil, by identifying the criteria associated with architecture and physics; this is to establish the importance of the analysis of the architectural project to obtain the basic skills of the architect. A mixed methodological framework was used, the quantitative phase was developed from a questionnaire under a non-probabilistic sample allowed to recognize the formal, structural, and functional aspects of the work under study, the qualitative phase used an interview that established the value represented by the recognition of the application of physics in architecture. As a relevant finding, it is highlighted a basic understanding of the physical elements applied to architecture, specifically in the case of Museum of Contemporary Art Niterói, Brazil, and that they recognize the importance of the analysis of architectural works as a pedagogical tool that favors obtaining the basic skills of the architect.

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.

This is a brief interstitial introduction by art historian Kim A. Munson explaining the importance of and interaction between two blockbuster exhibitions featuring comics, High and Low: Modern Art, Popular Culture (MoMA, 1990) and Masters of American Comics (Hammer & Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, 2005). This chapter discusses The Comic Art Show (Whitney, 1983), Jonah Kinigstein’s satirical cartoons about the NY art world, and the critical and public dialogue surrounding both High and Low and Masters, which has shaped many of the comics exhibitions that followed. This chapter tracks the team of comics advocates that organized The Comic Art Show (John Carlin, Art Spiegelman, Brian Walker, and Ann Philbin), their reactions to High and Low and the production of Masters of American Comics in response.
