A team of architects, helmed by celebrated Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, is to design a new performing arts centre in Tennessee, US.
The group – which includes the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), Boston-based William Rawn Associates and Nashville’s EOA Architects – will create a larger venue for the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC), which currently forms part of the James K Polk Cultural Center in Nashville.
Once complete, the centre will host three resident companies: the Nashville Repertory Theatre, the Nashville Ballet and the Nashville Opera, as well as touring Broadway productions.
“Nashville is a city fuelled by the creative energy of music and performing arts,” said Ingles.
“TPAC is already lively and celebrated, we are about to embark on a journey to imagine and design the future physical framework of TPAC that will be as open, inviting, integrated and inclusive as the institution already is.”
The project is being funded by a US$200m (€185m) grant from the Tennessee General Assembly, with an additional US$300m (€278m, £241m) expected to follow in 2024, as well as private donations.
