The multidisciplinary team CO-AP Holdings – comprising CO-AP, Studio JEF, TARN and Plus Minus Design – has been announced as the winner of the National Sculpture Garden Design Competition, to transform the grounds surrounding the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) in Canberra.
Will Fung from the CO-AP Holdings team, responded on the architectural practice’s behalf: “We decided to enter the competition because we shared a deep love for the Sculpture Garden originally designed by Harry Howard, Barbara Buchanan and Roger Vidler. It is the most important modernist landscape in Australia and provides a beautiful counterpoint to Colin Madigan’s magnificent gallery building. We feel that this is a sustainable and respectful design decision.”
