Raleigh’s Contemporary Art Foundation and Grubb Properties today announced the selection of Clearscapes and Pugh+Scarpa as the architecture team for the Contemporary Art Museum on West Martin Street.
The selection of Clearscapes | Pugh+Scarpa came after months of community discussions; a three-day planning session with local government, planning and business leaders; and a nationwide RFP process that resulted in substantive reviews of multiple architectural firms with urban, mixed-use and museum expertise. Raleigh-based Clearscapes is well-known for a range of innovative arts-based projects, including the interactive and historically sensitive Exploris Museum and the mixed-use revitalization of the Pine State Creamery, both in Raleigh. Pugh+Scarpa, with offices in Santa Monica, California and Charlotte, brings a reputation for exploratory Modern architectural design and ten consecutive national AIA Honor Awards.
“From day one, we’ve been committed to a plan for the museum, this site and the city that stretched the boundaries of urban design and integrated art into the everyday life of the community,” Carson Holding Brice, board chair for the Contemporary Art Foundation, said. “Clearscapes and Pugh+Scarpa not only share that vision but have a history of creating inventive and extraordinary environments. We’re looking forward to working with them to achieve our goal of a permanent and influential museum space in the city.”
