The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art has revealed the 6 finalist teams’ concepts for the international museum design competition. Located in Kansas City, the brief aims to broaden the conventions of the museum – which offers free general admission – so it continues evolving as a place where everyone feels they belong. The new expansion project will integrate the campus, the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park, and the two existing buildings into a cohesive new experience.

The Selldorf Architects team includes Reed Hilderbrand (Landscape Architecture), Atelier Ten (Sustainability), Two Row Architect (Indigenous Consultant), Renfro Design Group (Lighting), Arup (MEP Engineering), Guy Nordenson & Associates (Structural Engineering), TYLin Silman (Structural Engineering).
