Cincinnati Art Museum Selects Neutelings Riedijk to Design Campus Enhancement
The Board of the Cincinnati Art Museum today announced the selection of Neutelings Riedijk Architects as the architecture firm that will redesign the Museum's multi-phase campus renovation and expansion in the city's Eden Park.

Neutelings Riedijk is internationally known for its architectural design projects; the Cincinnati Art Museum project is the firm's first project in the United States.

Based in Rotterdam, Neutelings Riedijk is recognized for its demonstrated ability to respond with exceptional sensitivity and ingenuity to historic buildings, their surroundings, and complex existing layouts.

Their recent projects include the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (2006), the STUK Performing Arts Center in Belgium (2002), and several distinguished social housing and campus buildings around the world.

The Cincinnati Art Museum was founded in 1881, and during its 126-year history has grown from a single building to a complex of seven individual, interconnected structures.

These various wings were designed by a series of architects in a variety of styles.

Neutelings Riedijk will work with the Cincinnati Art Museum to develop a master architectural design for the institution that will integrate the disparate structures into a unified, cohesive whole and will combine a thoughtful and liberating reuse of the Museum's existing spaces with an innovative expansion.
