Ivar Moltke, Create
Mind set • From space for collection to space for people • Co-creation and user involvement are centre of development • The building must support human needs • Flexibility IS functionality • Maximize un-programmed space • The collection must not be the organising factor of our spaces • Shelves must make spaces instead of takeing up space • Focus on the human aspect – four room model
