My god, so many great proposals in one competition. I think this is probably on of the most incredible competition i've ever seen. But a shame only one was approved...:cry:!

My favorites:
Proposal 37 (http://212.20.194.35/modeller/images/37%20Body.jpg)
Proposal 65 (http://212.20.194.35/modeller/images/65%20Allmenning.jpg)
+ 10 more....:|

[Geex]

Hmm.. how this project get so many proposal, maybe it will cost a lot of $$$? :)

Still it's so many i even can't chose..

[designwise]

What is the name of the Finnish architect firm which won the contest for the design of the new cultural centre ?

[Qualtagh]

What is the name of the Finnish architect firm which won the contest for the design of the new cultural centre ?

"Vastavalmistuneet arkkitehdit Juho Grönholm, 29, Antti Lassila, 30, Janne Teräsvirta, 30 sekä Samuli Woolston, 29, tekivät läpimurron avoimessa kansainvälisessä kilvassa, johon osallistui sata työryhmää 21 maasta ympäri maailmaa."

So it was actually a team of fresh architects, not any firm, if I've understood correctly.

[Þróndeimr]

I will update some more pics and information as fast as hell. Btw, here are a video from the winning design...:)

[NorthStar77]

Wow, Christian, what can I say? Except THANK YOU!! As some of you know, Kristiansand is my hometown. I've been seeing these proposals some times before, and thought making a thread about it, but I have forgot about it. So there would never have been a thread with them without you making this!!

True that there are some nice proposals, but I think so many of them were really awfull, too darn big and out of place for a town like Kristiansand, especially there, where they have made this new nice harbour area. I would certainly been willing to demonstrate aginst some of these proposals.

The winning design was okay. I also liked some others, like this:
http://212.20.194.35/modeller/images/20b%20Illustrasjon.jpg

It gives associations to a large ferry. And boats and harbour activity has always been an essential part of Kristiansand(wich is the second largest harbour in Norway).

About that silo seen on the picture. There has been some debate on what to do with it. Many people want to turn it into student apartments. Sounds very interesting if you ask me. Together those two buildings could be very nice as a portal to Kristiansand for all those coming by ferry from "dejlige Danmark".

[zippo21]

I haven't much time and patience to see all these proposals because there are too many of them :)

Hm, when i made the thread yesterday i guessed the next construction piece had to be the silo. I really hope they invite to a competition there soon...:okay:

[NorthStar77]

About the silo, this was the only thing I could find at the moment, abit old:

Four happy finns:
http://www.fedrelandsvennen.no/multimedia/archive/00172/finske_arkitekter00_172408a.jpg

Our local newspaper, Fedrelandsvennen, visited them in Helsinki: http://www.fedrelandsvennen.no/nyheter/kristiansand/article262178.ece

Fedrelandsvennen also wrote about the cultural centre itself today. It will contain the regional theatre, Kristiansand sympohnical orchestra, and the regional opera. There will be one large concert scene, a large theatre scene, a small theatre scene, a multi-purpose scene, an autitorium and a foajé. There will also be rehersal-rooms for theatre and orchestra.

The reason why the finnish proposal won, was because it fulfilled all the criterias set.

[Moolio]

I'm really sorry to say this, but the Finns' proposal doesn't get high marks for aesthetic value from me. Maybe they met all the set criteria for the competition, but some of the other entrants had WAY cooler designs. My personal favourites were the numbers 39, 69 and 70.

Anyways, congratulations on your new cultural center!

/\ Many of the most fancy ones were just that, and could not have been used at all for the purpose intended.

The reason for choosing this one was that it has «greid å samle et mangfoldig romprogram i et enkelt og rasjonelt bygg, som samtidig i sitt foajéforløp og henvendelse til kaia og sjøen har et sterkt og originalt uttrykk med en latent spenning som gir den ønskede signaleffekt»

I sort of like it more after I've looked abit on it. But I think it looks abit too dark on the sides.

Wow, that's a lot of proposals. Three favourites I have are no 15, 63 and 65, but it's hard to tell since there are so many.

Proposal 27, or Kjempen og Skyen is designed by TBA Arkitekter (http://www.tba-arkitekter.no/), just a few images i by a accident run over. I figured they would fit best here.

Kostet 809.000 å velge konserthus

De 12 medlemmene av konserthus-juryen mottar honorar og godtgjørelse på til sammen 809.000 kroner.

KRISTIANSAND: - Verken dyrt eller billig. Dette er hva en stor og omfattende juryering med innleid ekspertise koster, sier byarkitekt Ernst Aukland som har vært sekretær for juryen.

Mest tjener de fire faglige medlemmene av juryen:

Arkitekt Håkon Vigsnes får 174.945 kroner inkl mva..

Arkitekt Erik Bystrup får 165.866 kroner inkl mva..

Arkitekt Are Telje får 150.378 kroner. inkl. mva.

Arkitekt Maria Kielland Krag får 112.625 kroner inkl. mva.

Aukland minner om at de fire satt i over 15 dager på Festningen og vurderte hele 94 ulike forslag til nytt konserthus. I tillegg kom flere dager med skriftlig forberedelse. Hver arkitekt er lønnet med 850 kroner timen, pluss tapt arbeidsfortjeneste, diett og reise.

De mer «menige» jurymedlemmene har fått langt mindre igjen for juryjobben:

Stein Hannevik får 48.000 kroner for å ha ledet juryarbeidet. Den samme summen får Stein Erikstad.

Kirsten Lindeberg får 18.000 kroner. Det samme får Harald Sødal og fylkesvaraordfører Torill Runden.

Bjørn Simensen (operasjef) får 22.500 kroner, dirigent Rolf Gupta får 12.750 kroner.

Teatersjef Bentein Baardson møtte bare på ett møte og får 3500 kroner, mens varaordfører Bjarne Ugland får 16.500 kroner.

809.000 NOK to pronounce a winner

The jury behind the judgement of the cultural center jused 15 days of work before they finally pronounced a winner. Their payment was 850 Kroner (108 Euro) in the hour each one of them. All of them saved a total sum 809.000 kroner (103,096 Euro) to judge all the proposals and pronounce a winner.

[sander]

Winner proposal is quite OK, altough there are imo better proposals too than this one.

[Jarmo K]

wow that's a lot!!!!
most of them are really boring and bland... i liked no. 20 and 39 the most.

The new cultural center gets more expencive

The new culture house could be twice as expensive as originally planned. This helps making the project ever more unpopular. Kristiansand municipal will have to pay some 700 million NOK (89 million euro). Meanwhile, it has been uncovered that many elderly living in some of the care-centres have suffered from inhumane treatment thanks to budget cuts from the municipal.

My God, how do you manage to get that many proposals? Vast majority of them are boring but there were very interesting ones too.
The winner is OK... am not sure how it will interplay with the surroundings

[Þróndeimr]

My God, how do you manage to get that many proposals?


Cultural development projects is very popular nowdays, and when they don't make any limits for how many proposals i guess many sign up, both Norwegian firms and internationally from 21 different countries.

[YanXenus]

Unreal number of proposals for one tender :sly:

Probaly tenders conditions (place, m2, aprox. flor count and destination of complex) was wery tipical.
As result - participation of larg number of projects created before for aproximatly same condicions (adopted for curent situation).

But this is not bad. I´d say that it´s a happy when you have a posibility
to choose the best from so larg number of projects (when many are ok!!!).
