The Kansas City Star | Five design teams vie to build a pavilion for Nelson-Atkins

Proposals by five teams of architects and designers have been named finalists in a competition to build a temporary pavilion on the grounds of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

A selection review committee of museum staffers chose the finalists from 15 entries. A jury headed by museum director and CEO Julián Zugazagoitia, and including the Bloch Building’s design architect Steven Holl, will consider the five proposals in the coming week and announce a winner in early February.

The winning pavilion would be built to coincide with the opening of the Nelson’s major exhibit, “Inventing the Modern World: Decorative Arts at the World’s Fairs, 1851-1939,” which is scheduled to open April 14.
