The BMW Guggenheim Lab is a collaboration between the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and the BMW Group. It is an interdisciplinary mobile laboratory that visited three cities around the world between 2011 and 2013. The lab is part urban think tank, part community center, and part gathering space, and explores issues of urban life through public programming and discourse.〔McHugh, Sharon. ("BMW Guggenheim Lab to Launch in NYC" ), ''World Architecture News'', May 17, 2011, accessed January 23, 2012〕 Three different structures were to house the lab over the life of the project, each of which would travel to three cities. The lab has an advisory committee of experts and is operated by a lab team. The Lab was expected to travel to nine cities over the course of six years. In 2013, however, BMW ended its support of the project, and the project ended in 2014, with an exhibition in New York.〔Vogel, Carol. ("BMW Ends Support for Guggenheim Lab Project" ), ''The New York Times'', July 2, 2013〕 ==Concept, organization and structures== The concept behind the lab was developed by David van der Leer, assistant curator, architecture and urban studies, and Maria Nicanor, assistant curator, architecture, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The lab's advisory committee is composed of internationally renowned experts in a range of fields and nominates members for each city's lab team, an interdisciplinary group that will help create the programming for that location.〔Carol Vogel, "A Lab on a Mission", ''The New York Times'', May 6, 2011〕〔"Six-Year Collaboration to Examine Contemporary Urban Issues in Nine Cities Around the World – International Advisory Committee Selects New York BMW Guggenheim Lab Team – Design of First Mobile Laboratory", Associated Press, May 6, 2011〕 Three different structures were to house the lab over the life of the project, each of which could be moved and would travel to three cities. Only one structure was built. It was designed by the Tokyo-based architecture firm Atelier Bow-Wow. Seoul-based graphic designers Sulki & Min created the graphic identity for the project, including an interactive logo that changed over the course of the project.〔("BMW Guggenheim Lab to Launch in New York City on August 3 Before Traveling to Berlin and Asia" ), Guggenheim Foundation, May 6, 2011, accessed January 23, 2012〕〔Vogel, Carol. ("Urban Lab Heads East" ), ''The New York Times'', October 27, 2011, accessed January 23, 2012〕 The lab's three-city cycle was designed around the theme ''Confronting Comfort'', which explores ways of making urban environments more responsive to people's needs, striking a balance between individual and collective comfort, and promoting environmental and social responsibility. The program was designed to proactively engage residents from each city, and participants on the Internet and from around the world, in free programs and experiments, and it addressed ideas and issues of particular relevance to each city.〔("What Is the Lab?" ), The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Retrieved April 9, 2012〕 The Advisory Committee members are: Daniel Barenboim, Elizabeth Diller, Nicholas Humphrey, Muchadeyi Masunda, Enrique Peñalosa, Juliet Schor, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Wang Shi.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BMW Guggenheim Lab」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
