Setting New Standards for Sustainable Design

The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney sits on Gadigal Country overlooking one of the world’s most beautiful harbours. The 150-year-old public art museum is undertaking a A$344 million expansion known as the Sydney Modern Project to create an indoor-outdoor art campus across two buildings connected by a public art garden. When the new building designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects SANAA is completed this year, it will be Sydney’s most significant cultural infrastructure project to open since the Sydney Opera House almost half a century ago. It’s also the first art museum in Australia to achieve the highest rating for sustainable design, setting new standards for cultural institutions internationally.
