Today, the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) announced the shortlist for its recently launched two-stage global competition to select the design team that will lead the overhaul of the institution’s 1984 Edward Larrabee Barnes-designed building. The competition, announced in February, will reimagine and expand Barnes’s sprawling campus in Dallas’s fast-growing arts district to increase accessibility, improve circulation, incorporate a sustainability strategy, and generally update the austere building. With some 154 submissions from around the world, the initial five finalists have grown to a selection of six, each of which will receive a total of $60,000 to develop a design.
DMA director Agustín Arteaga called the selection “an exhilarating mix of talent and design approach…that features luminaries but also smaller, less-known but gifted studios,” adding “each is a fascinating collaboration, multi-faceted with diverse aspects and skills…a significant proportion are led by women.”
