The National Museum of the U.S. Navy has selected five architecture firms as finalists to develop concept art for its planned site at Washington Navy Yard.
Property manager MGAC announced Wednesday that Bjarke Ingles Group, DLR Group, Frank Gehry Partners, Perkins+Will and Quinn Evans will each receive $50,000 to design concept art for the campus in Southeast. The museum announced the contest and first called for submissions on Dec. 24.
“We’re incredibly excited to take this crucial step toward seeing what’s possible for our new museum,” Samuel Cox, director of Naval History and Heritage Command, said in a statement.
