The New York based Selldorf Architects have won the National Gallery's NG200 contest to redesign the entrance of the Salisbury Wing. This £25 - £30m project will "remodel the Sainsbury Wing’s front gates, ground-floor entrance sequence, lobby and first-floor spaces; create a research centre within the nearby west wing of the Wilkins Building and deliver a series of public realm upgrades to enhance the gallery’s presence on Trafalgar Square."
According to the article linked above:
Once described as the ‘go-to architect for major art destinations’, Selldorf Architects has worked on numerous gallery projects, including for David Zwirner (pictured), Hauser & Wirth and Thaddaeus Ropac. The firm, which was founded in 1988, can also list the Frick Collection, Luma Arles, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the Smithsonian American Art Museum among its roster of significant cultural clients.
