The Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) and design competition organizers Malcolm Reading Consultants (MRC) launch the global search for a dedicated and gifted architect-led team to reimagine the Museum’s campus.
Located in downtown Dallas, the DMA seeks an architectural reinvention to enable the Museum to better serve its diverse city. The design must create additional gallery space to accommodate its expanding collection, including several forthcoming bequests. The Museum also requires a reorganization of internal space, circulation, and entrances, along with a comprehensive modernization framed within a thoughtful sustainability strategy.
The official language of the competition is US English. No design is required at the first stage. Instead, designers will need to study the Search Statement (available on the competition website). This will detail their approach to the project, team composition and relevant experience, as well as company details through a digital form.
The competition requires integrated multidisciplinary design teams comprising as a minimum: lead design architect, landscape architect, exhibition designer, and engineering disciplines including structural, services and sustainability.
The Reimagining The Dallas Museum Of Art competition is open to all local, regional, national, and international firms. Non-Texan US and international teams should have a team member registered to practice in the State of Texas. The competition encourages creative design collaborations.
Five teams will be shortlisted. Each will receive an honorarium of US$50,000 and expenses of up to US$10,000 for their work when the competition concludes.
The deadline for first stage responses is: 10:00 CDT (GMT-5) Wednesday, March 15, 2023.
