Winning design has seven gardens weaving around the gallery on the shores of Canberra’s Lake Burley Griffin, doubling its showcase space

The National Gallery of Australia will embark on the largest investment in its grounds in more than four decades, with the museum announcing the winning tender to recreate its sculpture gardens on Thursday.

“It is the most important modernist landscape in Australia and provides a beautiful counterpoint to Colin Madigan’s magnificent gallery building,” Fung said, referring to the architect who won the Australian government’s competition to design a national museum for art in 1968. The project took 14 years and cost $82m.

“CO-AP Holdings understood the significance and gravitas of the existing garden and its legacy, but also the importance of bringing the garden into the 21st century.”
