Gallery news Greenland gallery plans unveiled tom walker
A team comprising Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), TNT Nuuk, Ramboll Nuuk and Arkitekti has been chosen to design a new national gallery in Greenland. BIG’s concept for the 3,000sq m (32,292sq ſt) Greenland National Gallery of Art was selected ahead of five rival entries, following a design competition. Located on a slope over-

lobby offering a 180 degree panoramic view of the ford and sculpture garden, with the build- ing designed to appear as a piece of land-art.
An artist’s impression of the winning design by a team lead by BIG Bjarke Ingels said: “We propose a national
gallery which is both physically and visually in harmony with the dramatic nature, just like life in Greenland is a symbiosis of the nature.” Ramboll director Stephen Melville added:
“There are many hidden challenges in the structural engineering of the building.”
