The Museum Is Not Enough is the result of collective reflections on architecture, contemporary social concerns, institutions, and the public undertaken by the CCA in recent years. Building on years of thematic investigations and of a continued questioning of the role of cultural institutions and the issues they face today, the book puts forward the CCA's own positions and opens them up to a dialogue with designers, curators, photographers, publishers, and other institutions who ask themselves similar questions. This publication is conceived as the first volume of a yearly magazine, with which the CCA will explore urgent questions defining its curatorial activity. Topics addressed in this volume include the institution's engagement with the present, the significance of the archive as a site for the production of new ideas, display strategies in architecture exhibitions, the need for mediation in art, and the impact of the digital in current museum practices.

Carme Pin--s

The architecture of Carme Pinos eludes any classification. Although attentive and responsive to local conditions, it freely transforms the landscape to which it is bound. From the completed school in Morella, to a recent bridge in Petrer, the works Pinos presents in this book reveal her personal approach to architecture. In 1991, after a partnership with Enric Miralles of some nine years, Pinos set up an individual studio and since then has been combining her architectural practice with extensive teaching, lecturing, and participation in many international competition juries. In 1995 she was awarded the Spanish National Architectural Prize for the construction of the boarding school in Morella. In the United States, she served as a visiting professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and has lectured at Columbia University, Harvard University, the Architecture League of New York, and the Parsons School of Design.
