The New York-based architectural firm of Selldorf Architects will design the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diegos planned expansion in La Jolla.

The museums board of trustees unanimously voted to engage Selldorf, a 60-member firm that has received glowing notices for its creation of new gallery spaces (for David Zwirner, Hauser & Wirth and Gladstone Gallery) and its renovation of existing spaces in New York (the Neue Galerie). This will be its first time working with a contemporary art museum and its first project on the West Coast.

Selldorf Architects is extremely pleased to have been selected as architects for MCASDs expansion in La Jolla, said firm principal Annabelle Selldorf in a statement. We see tremendous opportunity with MCASDs beautiful site, world-class collection, exhibition program, and rich architectural history as we re-imagine the building for the 21st century.

The Museum of Contemporary Art has long discussed expansion, but the process officially began last year when the board voted to form an architectural selection committee. It seriously considered the qualifications of eight firms, interviewed four (and visited several of their projects) and ultimately decided on Selldorf, who has a reputation for creating structures and spaces that enhance but not upstage the purpose at hand (to quote The Wall Street Journal).

Her work doesnt impose itself, said Hugh Davies, the museums director and CEO. So much architecture, youre aware of the architecture more than youre aware of the art. She has a way of being, not self effacing, but respectful, if you will. She creates beautiful spaces that are at the service of the art.

The museums footprint will be expanded to include properties (now residential but owned by the museum) on both sides of the institution, and the space that now houses Sherwood Auditorium will be reconfigured as a gallery, with potential exhibit space of approximately 8,000 square feet.

it will be a glorious sort of main gallery, Davies said. Its sort of the summation of the other spaces and really creates a central area that should be very well suited to looking at art.

In all, the expansion would add approximately 20,000 additional square feet of exhibit space, tripling the museums La Jolla exhibit space and allowing the museum for the first time to consistently exhibit its widely respected permanent collection of more than 4,500 pieces of 20th and 21st century art, most of it from the U.S. and Mexico.

Davies said the architects expect to have drawings and schematics to the board by September, with the museum then officially launching a fundraising campaign of approximately $50 million, of which $30 million would go toward the expansion and $20 million toward an endowment for the museums operations.

If all goes according to plan, the project could break ground in early 2016.

The planned transformation of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria is inching closer after architects were chosen for the project this week.

Victoria-based Moore Architecture Inc. Associated Architects will provide expertise in local heritage alteration, while design plans will be created by Vancouver-based LWPAC Lang Wilson Practice in Architecture Culture Inc.

We are excited by the prospect of expanded public space for community engagement, the increased state-of-the art exhibit space and the improved and expanded storage facilities," said John Tupper, AGGV director.

The AGGV board whittled down a list of 18 teams of architects before deciding on the two firms, Tupper said.

The expansion will also allow the gallery to host more functions to generate revenue, as only 40 per cent of operating expenses are covered by government grants.

Earlier this year, Oak Bay resident and artist Anthony Thorn donated $2.5 million to kickstart a fundraising campaign for the gallery's renovation and expansion, although an official fundraising campaign hasn't yet been announced.

A public consultation process will be organized in the coming weeks to explore the vision for the new art gallery, Tupper said.

In 2012, gallery heads announced the existing facility, in the heart of a residential area at 1040 Moss St., would be revamped. The project is slated for completion in fall 2017.

AMSTERDAM Hundreds of years after wealthy merchants began building the tall, narrow brick houses that have come to define Amsterdams skyline, Dutch architects are updating the process for the 21st century: fabricating pieces of a canal house out of plastic with a giant 3D printer and slotting them together like oversized Lego blocks.

Hedwig Heinsman of architect bureau Dus says the goal of the demonstration project launched this month is not so much to print a functioning house in fact, parts of the house will likely be built and re-built several times over the course of three years as 3D printing technology develops.

Rather, it is to discover and share the potential uses of 3D printing in construction by creating new materials, trying out designs and testing building techniques to see what works.

Theres only one way to find out, she says. By doing it.

She envisions a future in which personalized architecture may be custom-crafted on the spot, or perhaps selected from an online store for architectural designs, downloaded and tweaked.

At the core of the project is a 6-metre-tall printer dubbed the Kamermaker, or room-builder. Its a scaled-up version of the open-source home 3D printer made by Ultimaker, popular with hobbyists.

It takes the Kamermaker about a week to print each massive, unique, honeycomb-structured block, layer by layer. The first block, which forms one corner of the house and part of a stairway, weighed around 180 kilograms (400 lbs).

The blocks will later be filled with a foam material, still under development, that will harden like concrete to add additional weight and bind the blocks together.

Dus expects to add more printers and change designs along the way, with help from Dutch construction company Heijmans, German chemicals manufacturer Henkel, and anybody else who wants to participate and can make useful contributions.

The construction site in northern Amsterdam is also an exhibition, open to the public $3.00.
