15:34, 11 Dec 2014
The Armenian Genocide Centennial Committee of the Western US (AGCC)
on Wednesday announced its process for the selection of an architect
for the Armenian American Museum proposed for construction in Glendale,
California, Asbarez reports.
Interested architects can obtain a complete request for qualifications
(RFQ) packet by writing to [email protected].
Responses to the RFQ are due by Jan. 14, 2015.
AGCC's Screening Committee will review the responses to the RFQ and
invite up to 5 architects or their firms to submit proposals with
design concepts. The AGCC plans to select the Architect for the
Armenian American Museum project prior to April 24, 2015.
The preliminary program of the project envisions the construction of
an approximately 30,000 square foot building to include a museum with
2 or more exhibit halls, a theater/auditorium, classrooms, a research
library and support spaces. The project will also include subterranean
parking, site work and landscaping. Space will be provided for the
construction of a memorial/monument in the open space outside of the
Museum building. The request for qualifications or proposals related
to the memorial/monument will be issued at a later date.
Responses to the RFQ should demonstrate familiarity and experience
in the design of civic, cultural and educational spaces.
On Nov. 4, the Glendale City Council decided to enter into an Exclusive
Negotiating Agreement with the AGCC for the ground lease of a 1.7
acre property located to the south of the Glendale Civic Auditorium
and across the street from Glendale Community College. This site is
being considered for the construction of a world class museum and
cultural/educational center.
The submission of conceptual design plans and a narrative description
of the project are two of the requirements stipulated in the Exclusive
Negotiating Agreement between the City and the AGCC.
The Armenian Genocide Centennial Committee of Western US helps oversee,
coordinate and organize events and activities in observance of the
100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in the region.
