Bruket av kulturinstitutioner som förnyelseverktyg inom en bredare agenda för att lansera ”kulturstäder” är ett växande fenomen. I sin föreläsning kommer Corinna Dean att undersöka effekten av Tate Modern som en urban katalysator vid Bankside i London, och hur konstmuseet använts för att marknadsföra London som en stad i världsklass. Hon kommer också att diskutera hur en ny form av offentligt rum har skapats och förmedlats genom en konstinstitution, och vad det innebär för definitionen av offentliga platser i London.

Corinna Dean has written numerous academic papers, book and exhibition reviews, cultural reports and building studies as well as contributions to magazines like The Architectural Review, The Architects’ Journal, Blueprint, Building Design, Bauwelt, Contemporary Magazine, Deutsche Bauzeitung, Idea, Icon, The Observer Magazine and Wallpaper.
