Nearly 200 Artists, Architects, and Designers Imagine Dream Interventions are in the Guggenheim Museum as the Finale to the 50th Anniversary Year on April 28, 2010. “Contemplating the Void” is an exhibition gathering 200 creative projects from both emerging and world-renowned artists, in celebration of 50 years of the NY Guggenheim Museum. Ways as to how the central void of the building was filled without restrictions to realism and practicality are explored with the original works of Anish Kapoor, designers Fernando and Humberto Campana, and architects such as Álvaro Siza Vieira the contemporary Portuguese architect. In 1992, he was awarded with the Pritzker Prize for a renovation project that he coordinated in the Chiado area of Lisbon. More recently he was announced as RIBA's 2009 Royal Gold Medalist.
