The General Council of the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, MACBA’s highest governing body, announced the decision of the jury of independent experts that has resolved, by a large majority, the open call for the extension of the Convent dels Àngels in favour of the «Gallery» proposal, from the architecture studio UTE Harquitectes and Christ & Gantenbein.
After evaluating the final shortlist of five proposals, all of them of a very high standard, the jury has decided to proclaim the proposal presented under the title «Gallery» as the winner of the open call for the drafting of the preliminary project for the expansion and reformation of the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona at the Convent dels Àngels and, where applicable, the drafting services for the basic and executive project and technical assistance for managing the works at MACBA. The proposal has obtained the highest score in accordance with the evaluation criteria set by the Terms and Conditions.
In the words of the jury, Gallery is «A proposal that neatly resolves the dialogue on three different scales: with the neighbourhood, the city and the Museum».
