London's Science Museum kickstarts search for new gallery designer
London’s Science Museum has kicked off the search for a lead designer to create its new London Science City Gallery.
Applications are open until 21 November for firms to make their interest known. The selected practice will be responsible for the full coordination of design, engineering and services for the project.
The gallery will explore London’s central role in the scientific advances in the 17th and 18th centuries. The exhibition will include elements of 3D Design, graphic design and lighting design.
The deadline to apply for the design contract, which is worth £240,000 (US$293,300, €268,200), is 12pm on 21 November.
The Science City Gallery project is part of a wider £60m (US67m, €72.3m) regeneration masterplan initiated by the South Kensington museum.
In 2015, Zaha Hadid Architects and Muf were awarded separate contracts to redevelop the museum’s Maths Gallery and Interactive Gallery respectively. The former will open in December, while the latter was completed earlier this month. Work is also planned to renovate the museum’s Exhibition Road entrance; a 1,200 sq m (12,900sq ft) area of public space.
