The National Gallery of Victoria’s Architecture Commission is returning in 2021 and registrations of interest are now open for the competition to design an installation within the gallery’s Grollo Equiset Garden.
The 2021 iteration will be the sixth commission, following on from the 2019’s In Absence, designed by Yhonnie Scarce and Edition Office.
The two-stage design competition is open to architects or multidisciplinary teams that include registered architect.
Teams can include various design and broader creative disciplines “to propose a project that explores new terrain for an architecture commission – from a conceptual, material, experiential or formal sense.”
The 2021 NGV Architecture Commission Jury comprises: Tony Ellwood (NGV director); Ewan McEoin (NGV senior curator of contemporary design and architecture);
Sophie Rzepecky (Assemble Papers editor); Felicity Stewart (Stewart Architecture director); Louise Wright (Baracco and Wright Architects co-diretor).
“Since 2015 this series has moved in unanticipated and exciting directions, a direct result of the breadth of ideas fielded in the open competition process and the vigorous efforts of the competition juries over the years to avoid a preconceived notion of what the commission ‘should be’ and instead support the strongest ideas through the competition process,” said Tony Ellwood. “We encourage teams – established and emerging, large and small – and across broad disciplines to make the time this year to engage with each other and embrace this opportunity”
Registrations will be open until 6 November and stage one starts on 12 October. Registrations for the design competition can be made via the NGV website..
