overview
Designed by the award-winning architects Caruso St John in 2009. Inspiration was taken from the surrounding Lace Market, specifically the bold, elegant design of the warehouses that serviced the city’s world famous trade in the 19th century. Its irregular structure was created by maximizing the use of the available land.
At over 3,000 square metres, Nottingham Contemporary is one of the largest contemporary art centres in the UK. It has four galleries - lit by 132 skylights – a performance and film Space, a study, meeting room, shop and Café.Bar.Contemporary. The building appears larger on the inside than outside, since much of its north end is sunk into the sandstone cliff that runs the length of the city centre. At the same time, it is a remarkably open building: large windows offer direct views from the street into the galleries, shop, café and offices.
