Firm, which teamed up with Austin-Smith Lord, chosen for its ’clarity, ambition and originality’

The V&A has appointed a team from New York-based architect Diller Scofidio & Renfro (DS&R) together with Austin-Smith Lord to lead the design of a new Collection and Research Centre, part of the museum’s Here East in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
