Blog: V&A Dundee

2018

Architect: Kengo Kuma

The Dundee V&A by Kengo Kuma is as eye catching on the external as it is on the internal. The original concept design to be in ship form allows an unique shift in geometries and angles which create the overall shape,
with these angles creating opportunities for access to the building and the undercroft beneath.

Internally is more visually compelling for its use of overlapping timber which wraps up the walls of the main foyer with small slot windows to give
small glimpses of the outside at all areas of the building. One will always wonder how it different the experience would have been, had it been sat out on the Tay as originally intended.
