In architecture, designing a museum is the peak of many architects’ work. Temple for the arts, the museum becomes an artwork in itself. As such, it mirrors and shelters one of the oldest human religions: artistic contemplation.
Whether an Architect, Engineer, Artist, Urban Planner, Designer, Student or an Enthusiast, you can contribute to the museum design by submitting an idea for the museum of tomorrow.
Participants must choose to submit: one or several drawings or models; or a 3D model; or a video of the project. The submissions will be emailed to concours@the-uma.org, or sent by post to UMA, 90, rue de la Folie-Méricourt, 75011 Paris.
Participants are invited to concentrate on designing the exterior of the building and the main reception rooms. The blueprint details will be subsequently fleshed out with UMA’s 3D modellers.
The museum must have a unique originality and identity.
The museum can be free of any usual constraint of physical reality.
The museum must still answer the functional demands of distribution, reception, and circulation that make it into a proper destination for collections of artworks.
The jury will attribute the prize according to the originality of the design and the quality of the architectural composition. The jury consists of the 4 founding associates of UMA, one architect, one 3D modeller, one professor of architecture and two experts in museography. The jury’s decision will be made public after deliberation and a majority vote. The jury’s decision is final.
UMA will fully collaborate with the winner to finance and give life to the museum of their dreams. The selected design will become the main building of UMA and the first museum in virtual reality: a museum with a universal reach, accessible worldwide.
