Just weeks after Sydney revealed a new iconic venue with Sydney Modern (Art Gallery of NSW), splitting opinions on the building’s architecture and functionality, today (12 December) Powerhouse Ultimo released its visionary building design, further changing the cultural landscape of this city.
In a statement, the museum said the design was ‘unanimously selected by an expert jury following a national design competition’.
