The Zaha Hadid designed Riverside Museum in Glasgow has won the European Museum of the Year Award 2013. The lighting design for the exhibition was designed by DHA Design in 2012.
The Riverside Museum demonstrates brilliantly how a specialist transport collection can renew its relevance through active engagement with wider social and universal issues. The EMYA 2013 Judging Panel agreed unanimously that the museum fulfils the EMYA criteria of ‘public quality’ at the highest level.
The winner of the best Permanent Exhibition at the 2013 Museums Heritage Awards was awarded to Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects and GUM Design this week. The lighting for the gallery was designed by DHA Design, including a daylight study to allow glimpses of the outside world from inside the gallery.
A post on the Science Museum blog today announced our project at the Science Museum for Google, Chrome Weblab, has been nominated three awards at this year’s Webby Awards, including one for the Best Visual Design – Aesthetic category. Normally these awards go to ‘virtual’ designs, so for a physical project to be nominated is pretty unusual – and highly prestigious. We’d be highly delighted if you were to follow the link to the awards & vote for the Weblab in the best visual design category! At last count, the project was in the lead with 52% of the vote, so the project has a very good chance of being honoured.
DHA was delighted to be involved with many of the shortlisted schemes in the recent Museum and Heritage Awards.
In the Permanent Exhibition category, DHA were lighting consultants to the winning National Museum of Scotland scheme in Edinburgh, and also shortlisted for both Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter and Riverside Museum, Glasgow
In the Temporary or Touring Category, DHA were again the consultants for the winning project: Sexual Nature at NHM, and also Highly Commended for Dickens in London, MoL.
Congratulations to our museum colleagues for their hard work on all of the shortlisted projects!
