National Gallery Seeks Architect For 200th Birthday Revamp
The National Gallery has announced it is seeking a multi-disciplinary design team to work with it on a suite of capital projects to mark its Bicentenary, with an initial phase to be opened in 2024.
A welcome experience befitting a world-class institution
The National Gallery wants to remodel both its grade I-listed buildings ahead of its 200th anniversary. The project has a construction budget of between £25m and £30m, while the design team contract is worth a reported £3.5m.
The Gallery’s Venturi Scott Brown Sainsbury Wing extension will be a starting point to look at how the 10,000sq m building links to the main Wilkins Building along Trafalgar Square’s northern terrace. A new research centre is also part of the five-year programme of works.
