\"V&A<\/div>\n

The highly-anticipated V&A East Museum by Irish studio O’Donnell + Tuomey<\/a> has reached completion in London<\/a>, with galleries by JA Projects and shops by Studio Mutt<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clad in concrete panels, the angular, five-storey museum<\/a> in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park<\/a> will open to the public this Saturday.<\/p>\n

O’Donnell + Tuomey<\/a> designed the building’s faceted exterior to distinguish it as the cultural centrepiece of the wider development, which includes\u00a0the Diller Scofidio + Renfro<\/a>-designed V&A East Storehouse<\/a> that opened last year.<\/p>\n

O’Donnell + Tuomey co-founder John Tuomey explained the thinking behind the form of the building to Dezeen ahead of the opening<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Gallery

“It has this crust around the edge that gives it its identity externally, but also the crust is where all the movement and circulation spaces are folded into,” Tuomey told Dezeen. “Every corner you turn, it persuades you to keep exploring.”<\/p>\n

The V&A East Museum aims to celebrate creativity and its east London location with a series of stacked galleries, cafes, shops and terraces, along with a large event space.<\/p>\n

Set opposite the Olympic Stadium, the museum opens out onto a newly created square at its base, with the main entrance and a cafe located on this floor.<\/p>\n

\"Interior

A continuous stair extends from this floor the full height of the building. It connects to the other main entrance on the floor above along with the permanent Why We Make exhibition spaces designed by JA Projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It concludes at the temporary exhibition gallery \u2013 the largest space in the museum \u2013 at the top of the building.<\/p>\n

Designed to feel rooted in its east London location, the Why We Make exhibition showcases over 500 design, fashion, art and architecture objects.<\/p>\n
