The Madrid practice Nieto Sobejano has won the Reimagining the Dallas Museum of Art International Design Competition, carrying the day over five other finalists: David Chipperfield Architects (London); Diller Scofidio + Renfro (New York); Johnston Marklee (Los Angeles); Michael Maltzan Architecture (Los Angeles); y Weiss/Manfredi (New York).
Fuensanta Nieto & Enrique Sobejano’s winning scheme includes a new ‘floating’ contemporary art gallery on the roof and rebalances the north and south facades, incorporating perforated surfaces. The glazed panels on the north side (Klyde Warren Park) and on the facades on Harwood Street at ground level give passers-by a view of the interior, inviting them to enter. The revamp and enlargement seeks to give the institution a greater physical presence as well as a higher degree of transparency, in the process applying strategies to make the building sustainable and energy-efficient.
