‘It’s a kind of improvement’ Dundee V&A project architect Kengo Kuma backs new location
ByNews reporter
The architect of the V&A at Dundee project has backed a decision to change its site.
Kengo Kuma is in charge of designing the £45 million building at the central waterfront.The project’s partners have decided it should not be sited out into the Tay as originally planned. Instead it will be built mostly on land, on the site currently occupied by the Olympia leisure centre and close to the dock where the RRS Discovery is berthed.
In an exclusive interview in Thursday’s Courier,Mr Kuma denies he is disappointed by the change.
He says: “I think it’s a kind of improvement in the design.”
Mr Kuma was in the city on Wednesday for a meeting with Design Dundee Ltd, a partnership between the V&A Museum in London, the city council, Dundee and Abertay universities and Scottish Enterprise.For the full exclusive interview, see Thursday’s Courier
