SynopsisCelebrates the design of Australia's newest cultural landmark SANAA's new building for the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney is the culmination of a decade-long vision--the Sydney Modern Project--to transform a 153-year-old public institution into an art museum campus with a seamless connection between art, architecture, and landscape. Featuring photography by Iwan Baan, SANAA in Sydney takes readers behind the scenes of this project--from the international architecture competition, through the design and construction process, to the building's opening--and offers reflections on its built form and engagement with art, people, and the environment. It includes a design statement by Pritzker Prize-winning SANAA architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa along with texts by the art gallery's director, Michael Brand; director of Kanazawa's 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Yuko Hasegawa; professor of architecture at the University of Technology Sydney, Anthony Burke; Harvard University architectural historian Eve Blau; and the art gallery's head of the Sydney Modern Project, Sally Webster.
