In a bold move, architects Nieto Sobejano are selected to ‘reimagine’ the Dallas Museum of Art.
“Their concept design mixes a poetic sensibility with a dynamic and sustainable design strategy that respects Edward Larrabee Barnes’ original intentions, all the while preparing us to become a 21st-century museum,” said the DMA’s board president, Gowri Sharma, and board chair, Jeffrey Ellerman, in a joint statement.
At ground level, a remade plaza would open the museum to Klyde Warren Park, making what is now a glorified driveway into a welcoming space for people rather than cars. The barren Ross Avenue lawn would be transformed into a stepped amphitheater leading into the museum, finally giving it an inviting connection to downtown.
In Nieto Sobejano, the DMA has commissioned a firm of unusual thoughtfulness with a distinguished record of museum design and of working with legacy structures, often centuries older than the DMA. It was established in 1985 by Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano, who are married, and has offices in Madrid and Berlin. Although this is their first work in the United States, both partners are graduates of the architecture school at Columbia University in New York.

Besides Nieto, the project design team also includes the Dallas-based landscape architects SWA Group and Houston-based PGAL, serving as “local” architect., a transformation of a 16th-century Dominican convent in the Basque city of San Sebastián, exemplifies its working philosophy. Punched aluminum walls are juxtaposed with the historic structure, creating an unfolding complex of spaces.
