Architecture studios such as SO-IL and Studio Jahn/ will collaborate with artists including Torkwase Dyson and Alice Aycock to design 18 pavilions as galleries for Art Omi in Chatham, USA.
Called Art Omi Pavilions at Chatham (AOP), the project will incorporate 18 pavilions placed to house art and amenity spaces for the compound. Each pavilion will be designed in collaboration between an artist or collector and an architect of their choosing.

The AOP campus will be placed in a wooded, rural area with an overall landscape design orchestrated by Brooklyn-based Assemblage Landscape Architects. It will be completed in multiple phases, and at the end there will be 16 pavilions of roughly similar size. These will stand alongside the Biennial Exhibition Pavilion, which will be designed by Skolnick Architecture + Design for rotating exhibitions, and a series of interconnected "mini pavilions" for "extended viewing experiences" designed by Brooklyn-based SO-IL.
It will include 18 structures spread over a piece of rural land. Pictured is the visitor centre by BKSK Architecture
