The public are being invited to look at the revised plans for V&A at Dundee, the new international centre of design for Scotland next week, when they go on display at the University of Abertay.

A new planning application for the £45m project has been lodged with Dundee City Council, ahead of a full revised planning application, which will take into acount the decision to move the waterfront building further on to the shore.

The museum will celebrate Scotland’s design heritage, as well as host international touring exhibitions, provide an educational resource and promote Scotland’s emerging creative talent. It will have a significant economic impact on the city, and will contribute to Dundee’s development as a business and tourism centre.

Japanese architects, Kengo Kuma & Associates are designing the building, in partnership with Scottish practice Cre8architecture. Kengo Kuma has designed several noteworthy museums, including the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum. The aim is to create one of the most iconic buildings in Europe.

Museum director, Philip Long, says he is very excited about the move forward: “In tandem with developing the designs for the building, we are continuing to make very good progress on the content and programme for the wider project, which will have an impact right across Scotland and beyond. The consultation provides a great opportunity to share these plans with the public too.”
