Renzo Piano Building Workshop is among the twelve renowned architecture practices who have been invited to transform the Art Gallery of South Wales by a jury chaired by gallery Director Dr. Michael Brand. "The Sydney Modern vision for expansion and transformation is much more than just a building project", Dr Brand said.
"Through this invited competition the Gallery is seeking ideas that will create an architecturally ambitious, intelligent, sensitive, sustainable and highly functional design. Our site overlooking Sydney Harbour will inspire each of the invited architectural practices, all of whom have extraordinary design skills", Dr Brand continued.

The jury will select up to five architectural practices to proceed to the second stage of the competition in early 2015. Based on these final submissions, the jury will select an architectural practice that will work closely with the gallery to develop a detailed design in april, 2015.
