BDP shortlisted with Kengo Kuma and MICA for National Gallery new wing
BDP, working in collaboration with Kengo Kuma & Associates (KKAA) and MICA, will provide technical and delivery expertise to the team shortlisted to design the National Gallery’s new wing as part of Project Domani - the Gallery’s most significant transformation in two centuries.
Selected from an international field of 65 submissions, the team will now develop proposals for a landmark extension on the site of St Vincent House. The new wing will house the Gallery’s expanded collection, extending its presentation of paintings beyond 1900 and enhancing the cultural link between Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square.
National Gallery Chair of Trustees and Jury Chair, John Booth said: “The National Gallery’s renowned collection of great paintings and our ambition to develop this further for the benefit of a larger, more diverse public demands a space that not only preserves and displays the collection, but also elevates the visitor experience, enhancing the Gallery’s reputation as one of the most visited and stimulating museums in the world.”

"We are honoured to have been selected as part of the team to consider how one might articulate the next chapter in the evolution of the National Gallery’s site, at the very centre of London. To help imagine its future, alongside partners who share our respect for its past and our ambition for what it can become, is an extraordinary opportunity.”
