NGV ARCHITECTURE COMMISSION DESIGN COMPETITION 2024

In a departure from previous years, the 2024 competition will not be anonymous. Competitors will be evaluated not only based on their design concepts but also on their team capability in Stage One. The NGV Architecture Commission aims to continually evolve and remain relevant by providing a platform for architecture to be enacted and experienced in diverse ways.

The NGV encourages proposals that are thought-provoking, relevant, and resonant. The goal is to facilitate conversations, dialogue, immersion, or reflection through non-didactic means. The competition is an opportunity to explore new terrain for an architecture commission, be it from a conceptual, material, experiential, or formal perspective.
