IMMA | Matheson Creativity Hub
The Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) invited Atelier Rae to participate in a design competition for the new Matheson Creativity Hub. Atelier Rae has collaborated with AB Projects and Ahmad Fakhry.
The winner will be announced at the end of March 2023
“IMMA in partnership with Matheson are commissioning an architect, artist, or multi-disciplinary design collective to develop a design for ‘The Matheson Creativity Hub’. This will be a prominent space that is activated by IMMA’s Engagement & Learning Department, Visitor Engagement Team, community groups, creative partners, and artists, as well as a space for audiences to dwell and explore on their own. It will be an innovative reimagining of convivial space that invites exceptional architecture and design to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment that allows for experimentation, supports creative engagement, and social connectivity for audiences of all ages. The project will be implemented in two stages; the design competition in February 2023, where visitors will be able to view the proposed designs, followed by the procurement and implementation of the winning project throughout 2023 and early 2024. The six practices showcased are: AB Projects & Atelier Rae; borien & Ben Mullen; Broken Fields; Diogo Passarinho Studio (D_P_S); Resolve; and Studio Makkink & Bey.”
