The Impact of Innovation on Heritgae Museum’s identities Sophia Borissenko, 126127973, sbor758@aucklanduni.co.nz The purpose of this study is to define and examine the range design requirements for a variety of case studies on heritage museums with modern intervention, each of which has a different type: internal intervention, addition or integration.
