Celebrates the design of Australia''s newest cultural landmark
SANAA''s new building for the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney is the culmination of a decade-long vision—the Sydney Modern Project—to transform a 153-year-old public institution into an art museum campus with a seamless connection between art, architecture, and landscape.
Featuring photography by Iwan Baan, SANAA in Sydney takes readers behind the scenes of this project—from the international architecture competition, through the design and construction process, to the building''s opening—and offers reflections on its built form and engagement with art, people, and the environment. It includes a design statement by Pritzker Prize–winning SANAA architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa along with texts by the art gallery''s director, Michael Brand; director of Kanazawa''s 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Yuko Hasegawa; professor of architecture at the University of Technology Sydney, Anthony Burke; Harvard University architectural historian Eve Blau; and the art gallery''s head of the Sydney Modern Project, Sally Webster.
