SANAA in Sydney

SANAA in Sydney Synopsis

Celebrating SANAA's new building for the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, with photography by Iwan Baan.

This important new book celebrates the design of SANAA's new building for the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney led by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa.

The building, which opened to the public in December 2022, is the culmination of a decade-long vision - the Sydney Modern Project - to transform a 152-year-old public institution into an art museum campus with a seamless connection between art, architecture and landscape. It is Australia's newest and most significant cultural landmark of the 21st century.

Richly illustrated, SANAA in Sydney takes readers behind the scenes of this ambitious project - from the international architecture competition, through the design and construction process, to the building's opening - and offers reflections on its built form and engagement with art, people and the environment.
