Architect stars compete for V&A project
MORE than 120 architects from around the world are to compete to design the iconic outpost of the world-famous Victoria & Albert Museum, planned for a promontory jutting out into the River Tay from Dundee's waterfront.
The new 47 million V&A in Dundee will be built close to Discovery Point to the south of Craig Harbour and is scheduled to open in 2014.
Leading architect Frank Gehry, the designer of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and Dundee's Maggie's Centre, has already been ruled out of the international design competition due to work commitments.
A shortlist will be drawn up later this spring and a winner announced in the summer.
