| TURNER CENTRE COMPETITION |
|||||
| Architects are invited to develop proposals for a new visual arts centre on a spectacular seafront site in Margate, associated with the artist JMW Turner for much of his life (1775-1851). The Centre is expected to cost £7m excluding external works. Margate is situated in East Kent and is one of a series of closely linked seaside towns. The Turner Centre is a culturally led regeneration project, and the new Centre needs to be a building of real quality that will be an attraction in itself. The site offers an opportunity to produce a design that not only works in its own terms but also enhances the quality of its setting; a building that works as architecture and urban design. The Turner Centre will support and extend the range of facilities in the town, and should act as a landmark when seen from across the bay and strengthen the physical relationship between the Old Town and the waterfront. The competition will be held in two stages. Stage 1 will be a general call for expressions of interest from architects, who will be asked to provide details for their experience and design approach. At stage two five short-listed practices will be invited to develop design proposals, and will each receive a £10,000 honoraria (inc. VAT). The competition is promoted by Kent County Council (KCC) working in partnership with Thanet District Council. KCC is committed to negotiating the appointment of the winner as architect for the project. The competition is open to architects, and international entries are encouraged. The competition programme is: Stage 1 submission : 20 March 2001 Stage 2 short-list announcement : April 2001 Applicants should apply in writing, enclosing a registration fee of £25.00 to: Turner Centre Competition The Kent Architecture Centre The Historic Dockyard Chatham Kent, ME4 4TZ Email: info@kentarchitecture.co.uk Fax : 01634 403302 Cheques should be made payable to : The North Kent Architecture Centre Ltd. |
