Curbed SF previosuly reported on the shortlist for the 225,000sqf expansion of the SFMOMA. The unconfirmed shortlist of the 8 practices include David Adjaye, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Steven Holl, Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), Snøhetta, and Renzo Piano. The other 2 remained unknown, but they stated that there are no local firms included.
Our friends at the Architect’s Newspaper propose a list of local practices that should have been invited: Aidlin Darling, Anne Fougeron (works previously featured at AD), IwamotoScott (projects previously featured at AD), Ogrydziak/Prillinger and Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works. I strongly agree with their list, and would like to add Stanley Saitowitz | Natoma Architects, with a vast experience in San Francisco, who recently completed the Tampa Museum of Art
I would also add to the local architects list Thom Faulders of Faulders Studio….

Is it just me or is Archdaily obsessed with Stanley Saitowitz? He’s OK, but not near the likes of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Holl, OMA, Snøhetta, or Renzo Piano.
Always the same 5-10 firms. Its a shame really.
why not mario botta himself??
Lucas is right. Museum architecture is like fast food now. Corporate architecture is more interesting.
