67 submissions received for redevelopment of the Australian Pavilion in Venice
Expressions of interest (EOI) from Australian registered architects and architectural practices for the redevelopment of the Australian Pavilion in Venice, Italy.
The Expressions of Interest stage has now closed.
67 submissions were received.
Following evaluation of the EOI by the selection panel, a shortlist of candidates will be invited to submit a comprehensive tender proposal, based on a detailed design brief, to demonstrate how the project requirements will be successfully implemented. It is expected that EOI submissions will be short-listed by mid November 2011.
The selection panel to assess the EOI will comprise: Mr Luca Belgiorno-Nettis AM (Joint Managing Director of Transfield Holdings, Chair, Biennale of Sydney); Mr Doug Hall AM (Australian Commissioner, Venice Biennale 2011, a former Director, Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art, 1987-2007); Ms Kathy Keele (CEO, Australia Council for the Arts); Mr Simon Mordant (Australian Commissioner, Venice Biennale 2013, Chair, Museum of Contemporary Art); and Mr Brian Zulaikha (President, Australian Institute of Architects and Director, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects.)
The new pavilion is due to be completed for the opening of the 56th International Art Exhibition in June 2015. The project is managed by the Australia Council with capital costs raised by the private sector.
