Panama City has a new architectural vision for its premier modern art institution. The Museum of Contemporary Art Panama<\/a> announced the winning design for its new headquarters on Tuesday. The selection follows an international architecture competition<\/a> that drew nearly 360 proposals from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two firms will lead the project. Studios Palma and Taller TO submitted the joint proposal that won the blind jury process. Museum officials confirmed the decision in a statement released this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blind Selection Process Ensured Fair Evaluation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The competition used a rigorous anonymous system. All proposals arrived in sealed envelopes with no team identification. This method allowed the jury to judge each entry purely on its merits. [Translated from Spanish]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven jurors made the final call. The panel included three international members and four local experts. Four of the seven were professional architects. The group first narrowed the field to five finalists before selecting the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico sent the most teams of any single country. Participants came from diverse geographic and professional backgrounds, museum representatives said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
