AUSTRALIA SCULPTURE GARDEN DESIGN COMPETITION - Stage One
Incorporating the National Gallery Sculpture Garden and landscape setting.
This is an exceptional opportunity for Australian and international designers to contribute to the Sculpture Garden and create a reinvigorated landscape setting for the National Gallery within the heart of Canberra - Australia’s National Capital.
The competition scope embraces the foundational importance of First Nations culture, includes gardens and contexts of heritage value, contemplates a landscape that puts art and its public access and appreciation first and explores the potential of the wider national setting of Kamberri/Canberra.
The competition seeks to reposition the Sculpture Garden as an innovative outdoor art gallery – one that will comprehensively embrace the biodiversity of the Australian landscape and the National Gallery purpose to make ‘art accessible, meaningful and vital to diverse audiences, locally, nationally and internationally'.
The National Gallery is seeking a design outcome of excellence which is distinctively of Australia – an outcome that acknowledges the past and will be of enduring value to the future.
The Competition will be conducted as an open tender multi-stage process, taking the form of a two-stage design competition.
Stage One will be conducted as an open and anonymous process.
This means that entries are lodged without the Entrant being revealed to the jury. In this way, all entries are viewed equally by the jury and are selected on the merits of the design ideas presented, rather than any other criteria and without any bias towards known design teams.
Stage Two will be conducted as a select process.
In this two-stage process, the Jury will short list up to six Entrants to progress to Stage Two
