Lina Ghotmeh Is Reimagining Cultural Architecture for a Connected World

In this Q&A, architect Lina Ghotmeh discusses how she’s reimagining the role of museums and cultural institutions through projects like the AlUla Contemporary Arts Museum, the British Museum’s Western Range and the Jadids’ Legacy Museum in Uzbekistan.
