In a formal statement today (11 April), the Director of the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) Dr Nick Mitzevich, announced a $60 million budget to revitalise the Gallery’s Sculpture Garden.
Mitzevich said the revitalisation project ‘will be realised through philanthropic support’.
In a two-stage competition, Stage One is a call for expressions of interest addressing the Competition Brief. Part of that brief is ‘a conceptual design that will create a responsive landscape of resilience designed to mitigate climate change and enhance the mature trees and other plantings. Considerations of sustainability, accessibility and embedding First Nations principles are integral to the future design of the garden’.
