参加建造这个博物馆的组织有：

-承包商：Kitchell；设计者：WORKac；执行建筑师：Westlake Reed Leskosky

-承包商：Oliver and Co.；设计者：Henning Larsen Architects；执行建筑师：Gould Evans

-承包商：Whiting-Turner；设计者：SO – IL；执行建筑师：Bohlin Cywinski Jackson

加州大学戴维斯分校（UCD）选择了三对建筑师和承包商，来竞争一个预计在2016年竣工的三千万经费的艺术博物馆项目。

UCD决定不再遵从传统的建筑设计比赛方式，要求WorkAC，SO-IL和Henning Larsen Architects三个公司和特殊的承包商合作，以便从整体上提升博物馆的设计。

像ArtInfo所说的：“对于不熟悉流程的人来说，设计与建造系统决定了很多设计方案的工作，尤其对于大多数不仅是建筑师还是承包商的公司来说，而不是对于在今后雇佣承包商的单独设计的建筑师。后一种被认为是普遍的现状，值得被特别注意的是高科技的实用主义建筑要区别于高大的，充满艺术性的建筑形式。

这种分工还远远不能解决设计和建造之间的交流问题，承包商和建筑师之间的平衡在于设计过程的细节可以允许更多两个组织之间的持续性合作。”UCD相信这个是第一个美国第一个为艺术博物馆而举办的设计-建筑比赛。

博物馆主管Rachel Teagle解释了在设计-建造比赛的动机在于“实验精神”：“UCD的艺术家、教师和校友以实验精神定义他们的艺术，在做陶瓷，摄影或者概念性艺术方面。我们为举办美国第一个艺术博物馆的设计-建造比赛而庆祝。这种美学方面占主导的项目设计方式被证明在世界上是史无前例的。它介绍了设计过程的透明化和公开化，这和UCD的使命紧密相关。”

The University of California Davis (UCD) has selected three pairings of architects and contractors to compete to design a $30-million art museum, expected to be completed in 2016. The university has decided against a traditional competition in favor of a design-build competition, requesting that each of the prospective architects - WorkAC, SO-IL (working with Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, of Apple store fame), and Henning Larsen Architects - work with specific contractors in order to develop holistically conceived museum schemes. More information after the break.


As ArtInfo explains: “For those who are unfamiliar with the term, the design-build system predetermines a number of groups working on a design proposal, most notably both the architects and the contractors, as opposed to separately appointing architects for the design and, at a later time, hiring contractors for the execution. This latter method is popularly conceived to be the status quo, with its neat affirmation of architecture as a lofty, high-art form, notably distinguished from the science-bound pragmatism of construction and engineering. While this division of labor is far from eliminated in a design-build delivery, the equal weighting of contractors and architects at the start of the design process allows for more continuous collaboration between the two groups.” UCD believes this to be the first design-build competition for an art museum in the US.
Museum director Rachel Teagle, explained in a Press Release that the motivation behind the design-build competition came from a “spirit of experimentation”: “UC Davis’ artist faculty and alumni are renowned for the spirit of experimentation that defines their art, be it work made in ceramics, photography or conceptual art. We celebrate that spirit by launching the first design-build competition for an art museum in the United States. This proven project-development model is new to the world of art museums where aesthetic concerns predominate. It introduces to the design process a transparency and openness that is deeply aligned with UC Davis’ mission.”
