The IS&T Archiving Conference brings together an international community of imaging experts and technicians as well as curators, managers, and researchers from libraries, archives, museums, records management repositories, information technology institutions, and commercial enterprises to explore and discuss the field of digitization of cultural heritage and archiving. The conference presents the latest research results on digitization and curation, provides a forum to explore new strategies and policies, and reports on successful projects that can serve as benchmarks in the field. Archiving 2017 is a blend of short courses, keynote talks, peer-reviewed oral and interactive (poster) presentations, an exhibit, and social events offering attendees a unique opportunity for gaining and exchanging knowledge and building networks among professionals.

Thursday Keynote

Resonating Spaces: 3D Imaging of the Berlin Philharmonie, Chris Edwards, Getty Research Institute (USA)

The Getty Research Institute’s (GRI) exhibition Berlin/LA: Space for Music (April 25–July 30, 2017) celebrates the 50th anniversary of the sister city partnership between West Berlin and Los Angeles by focusing on two buildings that have captured the public imagination and become iconic features of the urban landscape of both cities: the Berlin Philharmonic (1963), designed by Hans Scharoun, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall (2003), designed by Frank Gehry. Original physical working models created by Gehry in designing the Walt Disney Concert Hall give visitors insight into how its expansive interior was created, however no working or presentation models of Scharoun’s Philharmonie are extant. The interior of Hans Scharoun’s Berlin Philharmonic, which ranks among the most influential concert hall designs of the 20th century, is a very complex and multifaceted space. The bold decision made by the GRI’s curatorial team to commission a 3D digital and printed model of the Philharmonic interior allows the curators to communicate to gallery visitors the innovative nature of this complex space in a manner much more evocative than photographs alone could convey, making this a truly groundbreaking undertaking.
