Mark your calendar or program your DVR to catch The Architecture of Museums at 8 p.m., January 10 on KCPT, the local public television station for Kansas City. This episode of Screen Time will be dedicated solely to the panel discussion that was held on June 8, 2007, the day before the public opening of the Bloch Building.
The panel was moderated by Museum Director and CEO Marc Wilson and consisted of Steven Holl, Bloch Building architect; Jeffrey Kipnis, curator and professor of architecture at Ohio State University; Timothy Rub, director of the Cleveland Art Museum; Rebecca Young, manager of exhibition design at the Nelson-Atkins and Lebbeus Woods, architect and artist.
The panel drew a full house to Atkins Auditorium. Standing in the back of the room, I remember there was a buzz of excitement and energy about the opening the next day. Be sure to watch it tomorrow at 8 p.m.

Charles,
We do not have any copies of the program yet. For now, I would recommend contacting KCPT directly (they have a contact us page on their website where you may submit a request). They do have some episoes of Screen Time online but I don't know if they intend to post this one.
Thank you for your question. Good luck!
