The Shortlist

The V&A at Dundee building will form an inspiring  'anchor'  for the Dundee Waterfront Project - a major initiative to redevelop the City's waterfront. The new building will be a striking statement that will stimulate minds and set the standard for subsequent development of the area. As an exemplar of 21st century design itself, the building will be externally beautiful and provide functional spaces capable of housing the various exhibitions and accommodating a wide range of visitors.

More than 120 architects from across the world entered the architectural competition to design the V&A at Dundee building. Models and descriptions of the six shortlisted designs are currently on display at Abertay University Library.
