Dundee's V&A: Inside the building of the city's new £80m landmark museum

The first thing that the architect of Scotland's new £80.1m new V&A museum wants visitors to see is not its dramatically angled walls, or the museum's sizeable bulk, overhanging over the waters of the Tay.
Instead Kengo Kuma, the Japanese architect of the landmark development on the city's waterfront, wants visitors to see the river and distant hills through the unusual "architectural frame" he has designed at the building's centre.
This frame, a tunnel in the interior of the building, will give visitors a view of "nature", the key inspiration for his design, he told visitors to its building site yesterday.
