And the winner is ...

It has just been announced that the winner of the V&A Dundee design contest is the Kengo Kuma design and congratulations go to Kengo Kuma & Associates on their success.

As Lesley Knox, Chair of the V&A at Dundee project and of the jury panel, said,  "Kengo Kuma's proposal was the unanimous choice of the jury panel and is a worthy winner; a building that will delight visitors and encourage them to revisit it again and again. It demonstrates a clear understanding of the city, offers a new experience of the river, and will be as exciting internally as it will be externally.

"This has the potential to be one of Europe's most exciting buildings."

It is now vital that all the funding is secured to ensure this inspiring project for our city becomes a reality.
