Almine Rech congratulates Ali Cherri for being a part of Lina Ghotmeh — Architecture (LG — A)'s team tasked with redesigning the Western Range galleries of the British Museum. A pivotal moment in the Masterplan project to transform the Museum's historic building, the project will be one of the biggest cultural renovations undertaken anywhere in the world.
Over 60 teams applied to the International Architectural Competition, which ran for nine months. Five shortlisted teams were invited to take part in the two stage competition, from which LG — A emerged as the unanimous favorite.
As shared by Ali Cherri: "As part of the competition, we were invited to reimagine specific galleries spaces within the Western Range, reconfiguring completely their architecture and the display of the artefacts. Here we reimagined a space dedicated to the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the wonders of the world built in Caria, present day Bodrum."
