Kengo Kuma and Associates wins Dundee V&A design competition
The Japanese firm has beaten five other entrants on the shortlist to design the new Victoria and Albert Museum in Dundee.
The museum is to be built out on the River Tay on the Dundee waterfront
Plans to open a V&A offshoot in Dundee were first announced in 2007 by former First Minister Jack McConnell.
Since then the project has captured the imagination of politicians at a local and national level who believe it will not only transform Dundee but also Scotland as a whole.
Mr Kuma said he was grateful for the chance to build what is hoped will become as iconic a structure at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
