The public is invited to an open house to view the concept drawings for the new Remai Art Gallery of Saskatchewan and hear how the architects arrived at this amazing design. There will be a short presentation, followed by a question period.
A survey will also be available to fill out at the open house to leave comments on what residents think of the new building. An online survey is also be available at http://www.mendel.ca for those unable to make the open house.
The design is a creation of Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects (KPMB) of Toronto in association with Winnipeg-based Smith Carter Architects and Engineers Incorporated. KPMB has extensive experience with gallery design, including the Hamilton Art Gallery; The Toronto International Film Festival building; and, the Canadian Museum of Nature, for which it won the 2011 Ontario Association of Architects Design Excellence Award.
The Remai Art Gallery of Saskatchewan will be located in River Landing, just west of 2nd Avenue and Spadina Crescent. Construction is expected to begin in 2012, with an opening in late 2014/early 2015.
The concept drawings are also available for viewing in the Mendel Art Gallery’s lobby and on the Mendel Art Gallery’s website.
