Foster + Partners, which has built iconic structures at museums around the world, will design the project breaking ground in 2026
The San Diego Museum of Art announced Tuesday that it has hired the internationally renowned architectural firmHelmed by Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Norman Foster, the London-based company has designed, including creating the Great Court at the British Museum in London, a new west wing for the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Fla., and the Art of the Americas wing for the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
“Why Foster? He is a monument of talent and creativity,” Velásquez said. “He’s a collector who respects beauty and harmony, but also the public. Most important, he’s used to working in historical sites and he respects historical buildings, as we have seen at the British Museum and the Prado at Bilbao. This is an incredible way of looking into the past, analyzing the context and then adding seamless modernity and elegance.
Velásquez said the city of San Diego has also changed in the past decade and its citizens have embraced several notable new cultural construction projects, including the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center in La Jolla and the newly revamped Mingei International Museum, just across the plaza in Balboa Park.
