A conferência de 2024 teve um significado especial, pois foi celebrado o 75o aniversário da dedicação do ICAMT em promover o diálogo sobre os seus principais temas.
ICAMT – the International Committee for Architecture and Museums Techniques é um dos primeiros Comitês Internacionais do ICOM, listado no ICOM News em 1o de outubro de 1948. Ao longo de sua rica história, a ICAMT tem consistentemente fornecido uma plataforma onde o conhecimento, as melhores práticas e ideias convergem, em um fórum ativo para profissionais, reunindo perspectivas diversas de arquitetura, técnicas de museu e design de exposições. As conferências anuais são uma demonstração desse compromisso, oferecendo um espaço para o intercâmbio significativo.
Com mais de 700 membros individuais e 25 membros institucionais de todo o mundo, ICAMT representa um poderoso coletivo dedicado ao avanço do conhecimento em nosso campo. Para promover este objetivo, são disponibilizadas as atas da conferência online, garantindo que estas valiosas ideias sejam acessíveis a todos.
The theme for this significant conference, “Encountering Transition – Reshaping Museum Architecture, Exhibition Design and Techniques in Response to Global/Local Changes,” reflects the dynamic and rapidly evolving landscape in which museums operate today. As we navigate a world characterized by technological advancements, shifting cultural paradigms, and environmental imperatives, our museums must be agile, adaptable, and responsive to these challenges.
I am confident that the exchange between Western and Eastern experts, the exploring of both architectural traditions, the insights shared, and the ideas generated during the conference will be valuable and will have an impact on the museums we serve. Your presence and active participation are invaluable as we navigate these complex but also stimulating transitions.

Museu.xyz: Bridging Tangible, Intangible, and Digital Realms in Exhibition Design, Caroline Pires Ting
In the context of Encountering Transition, this presentation examines the evolving landscape of exhibition design, focusing on the integration of tangible, intangible, and digital elements. As museums adapt to rapidly changing global and local environments, innovative approaches in exhibition design are crucial for enhancing visitor engagement and cultural appreciation.
This contribution explores the synergy of Western and Eastern aesthetics within digital exhibition spaces, as exemplified by Museu.xyz. Highlighting projects such as Metadiversity (“Metaversidade”), “CryptoRastas”, Feminu (an exhibition solely for women), and NFTrans, we will discuss the incorporation of advanced digital, interactive, and immersive technologies. These initiatives showcase how the metaverse can facilitate engaging and culturally enriched experiences, bridging traditional and digital exhibition modalities (Studio Int’l).
The presentation will investigate culturally sensitive exhibition design, focusing on the effective representation of diverse traditions. We will explore innovative methodologies for creating narrative environments that respect and reflect varied social and cultural contexts. Strategies for adapting exhibitions to different cultural settings will be discussed, addressing challenges in preserving and transmitting intangible heritage.
Emphasizing the role of Sensory and Universal design in fostering inclusivity, this segment will present examples from Museu.xyz that enhance accessibility within digital spaces. The discussion will include social curation projects that advocate for diverse content creation and knowledge dissemination, highlighting the collaborative efforts of architects, curators, and designers in creating inclusive and impactful exhibitions (Studio Int’l).
Case Study: As an institution in the metaverse, Museu.xyz serves as a model for integrating traditional and digital exhibition spaces. It offers a persistent, interactive platform that bridges the physical and virtual realms, creating an inclusive space for both artists and audiences. This case study will illustrate the transformative potential of digital exhibitions in enhancing cultural narratives and accessibility, demonstrating how Museu.xyz is at the forefront of exhibition
