Shortlist announced for Natural History Museum works
Following the launch in September of a competition to redesign the grounds of London's Natural History Museum, five teams have been chosen from the entrants and invited to submit their proposals.
Amongst them are Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), with Martha Schwartz Partners (landscape); Grant Associates, with Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (architect); and Niall McLaughlin Architects, with Kim Wilkie (landscape).
Also included are Land Use Consultants (LUC), with Design Engine (architect) and Stanton Williams Architects, with Bradley-Hole Schoenaich Landscape Architects (landscape).
Commenting, museum director Dr Michael Dixon said: “We are delighted with the architectural community’s response and are eager to see the design proposals that aim to enhance the world-class setting of the Museum.
“We look forward to working with the winning team.”
The Museum says the project will aim to create an innovative exterior setting to match the architectural excellence of the site, while ensuring that the Museum grounds remain easily accessible to the more than five million annual visitors.
The winning team will be announced in February 2014, following a public exhibition of the entries.
