New
Digital Media Centre, Barnsley
New Open Two Stage Competition
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough
Council is seeking creative ideas from architects for the design
of their new state of the art Digital Media Centre, one of the
first landmark buildings to be built within the context of the
widely publicised and bold new masterplan for the town by architect
Will Alsop. Competitors will be asked to submit designs for a
new Digital Media Centre to incorporate office, café and
conference spaces in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. The new building
will be sited in a very visible location at the corner of Westgate
and Sackville Street. The expected build cost for the new centre
will be £7.5m.
The competition will take place
in two stages. Stage one will be open, and competitors will be
asked to submit designs on two A1 foam boards. Designs will be
judged anonymously and a shortlist of up to six teams will be
selected to develop their designs into a second stage. The designers
of the three best schemes will be invited to present their scheme
at an interview with the assessment panel and answer questions
relating to their submitted work.
1st £12,000 2nd £7,000
3rd £5,000 and to each other finalist £2,000 each.
The winner's prize will represent an advance on their professional
fee once appointed.
First stage design submissions
is Wednesday 8th October 2003.
