Cumulus Shortlisted for NGV’s 2017 Architecture Commission

"The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) has announced the shortlisted teams in a competition to design the 2017 Architecture Commission.

The competition called for an innovative, temporary and site-specific work of architecture that is participatory, evocative and thought-provoking. Entrants were also encouraged to explore materials and systems, manufacturing and fabrication, technology, sustainability and cultural resonance.

At the announcement of the shortlist Ewan McEoin, the NGV’s senior curator of contemporary design and architecture, said the entries this year demonstrated “high-quality thinking.”

From 79 entries judged anonymously, Cumulus is one of five proposals selected by the Jury, which will now proceed to the second stage of the competition.
