PHI Contemporary | International Architecture Competition News
PHI is pleased to announce the launch of an international architectural competition for the design of PHI Contemporary – a cultural institution in Montreal, dedicated to exploring the contemporary through public engagement with art and culture.
Founded by cultural protagonist Phoebe Greenberg, PHI is an ever-evolving cultural infrastructure dedicated to supporting art and artists probing key agendas of our times, and the mutual – and radical – accessibility between them and the public. As a future repository for PHI?s legacy, PHI Contemporary will be a new and permanent space to consolidate, extend and intersect PHI?s cultural offer, its communities, and the public life of the city.
Located in Old Montreal, and built upon a site rife with history – comprising an assemblage of four historical buildings and an adjacent vacant lot – PHI Contemporary will consolidate the public cultural offer currently housed within PHI Foundation and PHI Centre. The 6 900 m² / 74 000 ft² project will house exhibition spaces, a network of new media galleries, mediation, research and studio spaces, and an expansive public domain.
The projected construction budget is CAN$47,280,000, excluding taxes and inflation.
