Their design is a bold visualisation of how contemporary cultural institutions can provide the inspiration, education and enjoyment that today\u2019s audiences need and expect,\u201d Mr Harwin said.<br \/>\n\u201cThe relocated Powerhouse Museum represents the largest investment in arts and culture infrastructure since the Sydney Opera House. Once this museum is built \u2013 there simply will not be another building like it in Australia \u2013 it will be a leading cultural institution in the South Pacific.<br \/>\n\u201cThe new Powerhouse will be a museum of applied arts and sciences that exemplifies how Sydney and Australia thinks about itself, its culture and our communities.\u201d<br \/>\nThe successful architects will now progress their design, signalling the next stage in the transformation of one of Australia\u2019s most important cultural institutions.<br \/>\nDr Lee said the new museum will attract leading researchers, scientists and creatives from across Australia and around the world, while also providing ongoing opportunities for students from across NSW.<br \/>\n\u201cThis is what Western Sydney deserves \u2013 I can\u2019t wait to see this incredible new institution in Parramatta,\u201d Dr Lee said.<br \/>\nMoreau Kusunoki and Genton said: \u201cWe envisage the new Powerhouse Museum as a hyper-platform, a building with many functions and limitless potential.
