V&A East to hold design competition for Stratford galleries

摘要

V&A East will run a design competition next year to find architects for the galleries at its new Stratford museum. Claire McKeown, V&A East project director, said they would be looking for “world-class architects”. The news comes as the museum, designed by O’Donnell & Tuomey, reached its full height of 42.5m. The five-storey museum’s steel structure, with its complex geometry, is also now complete. It weighs 1,600 tonnes and comprises 2,051 pieces.
