The Fox: NGV Contemporary Design Competition Exhibition

The Fox: NGV Contemporary Design Competition exhibition celebrates the visionary and dynamic design approaches, work and creativity of eight multidisciplinary Australian design teams who took part in the design competition to appoint a winning team and select a design for The Fox: NGV Contemporary.

The Fox: NGV Contemporary is one of the most significant projects in Australia’s cultural, civic, and architectural history. The landmark gallery will celebrate the central role of art and design in contemporary life and culture. Located at the heart of a transformed Melbourne Arts Precinct, amid 18,000 square metres of green space, the building will be the largest museum of contemporary art and design in Australia.

In 2021, the design competition was announced by the Victorian Government. In an unprecedented move for a competition of this scale and civic profile, the competition was open exclusively to Australian architecture teams – an important acknowledgement of the depth of Australian architectural talent.

The Fox: NGV Contemporary Design Competition reveals the quality and breadth of ideas submitted by each team. Through each response, we discover insight into the some of the leading architectural practices in Australia and the many possibilities that architecture offers our communities.
