Saxo Bank wins RIBA International Award

3XN design for Danish banking HQ runs away with the grand prize

In the months before it was completed, the new headquarters for Danish Investment Bank - Saxo Bank - began attracting stares and attention from passersby in Tuborg Harbour, north of Copenhagen Denmark. Now it has attracted the attention of the renowned RIBA International Award, recognizing excellence conceived by its members from around the world.

With its shimmering façade of diagonal white aluminum and blue glass patterns, the building reflects the sea and sky just as it does Saxo Bank’s profile as a solid, dynamic and modern bank. Inside, a transparent and inspiring environment enhances the sense of team spirit amongst employees. The open plan layout of each floor surrounds a softly shaped, top-lit atrium; with a winding main staircase functioning as the building’s spine. The openness allows for interaction, sharing of knowledge and an environment of learning amongst this highly driven and international team of professionals.

Kim Herforth Nielsen, Principal Architect of 3XN comments on the design saying: "The building is designed in such a way that it challenges the surroundings and yet contributes to a unified setting. The interior has been designed in close collaboration with Saxo Bank to create an environment of learning; encouraging interaction and sharing of knowledge.

"The RIBA International Award isn’t just any prize. There is a very thorough evaluation process from the committee’s side, and they have visited all of the projects. It is very important for us to create architecture with meaning, and not just a signature piece. I think this is why we have won."

The RIBA International Award recognizes excellence conceived by its members from around the world. The awards ceremony will be held in London on July 14th.

^ im not a huge fan of the buildings facade, but on the other hand the interior is absolutely magnificent. what an enjoyment it must be for the staff to work there... 3xn knows how to design quality space.

btw, good set of photos of the building: http://www.archdaily.com/20782/saxo-bank-3xn/

^^
Very surprising and impressive by 3xN - especially considering:
- only 15 projected (this yrar)
- Other recipients include names like Foster, Herzog and de Meuron, Rogers. Chipperfield and Sauerbruch Hutton
- Other awarded projects include mega projects like Beijing Airport Terminal 3, National Stadion Beijing, the Water Cube
- That British architects or projects are generally strongly favoured, emperically taking around half the international awards.
This doesn't leave many awards for small projects in small cities by small architects. Wonder what their selection criteria are.
The Danish track reccord for this prize is pretty good though:

Danish RIBA International/European Awards:
2009: Saxo Bank (Copenhagen), 3xN
2008: The Royal Playhouse (Copenhagen), Lundgaard & Tranberg
2007: Alsion Concert Hall and Science Park (Sønderborg), 3XN
2007: Tietgenkollegiet (Copenhagen), Lundgaard & Tranberg
2006: Kilen (Copenhagen), Lundgaard & Tranberg
2005: Sampension (Copenhagen), 3xN

6 awards in five years is pretty good - considering 63 European/International awards have been handed out for those five years, app. half of which to British architects/projects.

Fuglesang Art Museum byTony Fretton on the Danish island of Lolland has gotten a RINA Eiropean Award 2009 as one of only six projects.
http://www.archicentral.com/2009-riba-award-winners-announced-18561/ (bottom of the page)

As for my previous post, I mistook the International Award for the European one. Wonder what the criteria is for giving Saxo Bank am International Award instead of a European one, though. Previous years, it has only been given to projects outside the EU. Well now it's 7 Danish RIBA Awards in five years anyhow.

As one of only six buildings, Fuglesang Art Museum by Tony Fretton has been shortlisted for the Stirling Prize. The prize, considered the most important in Brittish architecture, is awarded annually to the architects of the building that has made the greatest contribution to British architecture in the past year.

The bookmaker William Hill company which is traditionally offering odds on the shortlisted projects even has it as a favourite.

^^ Did you vivist this museum? To be honest I've never even heard of it before now. From the photos I can find it doesn't look that interesting, have a hard time seeing how that could end up winning any big architectural awards.

There's of course a chance that the photos I've found doesn't do the building justice. It's (among others) on their own facebook site (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=73532&id=76190244755).

Nope and I have thought the exact same thing. I merely reported it but certainly find it very weird too. But I think he's kind of a darling in Brittish architecture, considered very "good taste" and it is supposed to be very well integrated with the old buildings and the surrpundings. But seriously is THAT ENOUGH - even for RIBA that is not as much after the eye-catching, ece-pleasing landmark that the rest of us like?:nuts: I certainly can't se it win either, too bad they don't offer odds on hin NOT getting it.:p

The masterplan for Nordhavnen in Copenhagen has won World Architecture News' new WAN Award in the Urban Design - Unbuilt Projects category.

However in the end it was FX FOWLE’s Nordhavnen City Regenerative, Copenhagen that reached the top with its confident and ambitious approach to a complex regeneration brief. The dramatic images simply wowed the room. The day was won.,

http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.projectview&upload_id=12473

iIn July the same masterplan won the Boston Society of Architects, Unbuilt Architecture Design Award.

^^ That wasn't even the masterplan that won? Or is that just me?
The one By&Havn presented was boring, green and expensive..

^^ That wasn't even the masterplan that won? Or is that just me?
The one By&Havn presented was boring, green and expensive..

Aah that's whu, I guess. I wondered why it said FX FOWLE but thought they might habve cooperated with COBE or taken over the detail planning because it was to comprehensive a project for a tiny company like COBE to handle. Anyway, it seems weird to award a plan that isn't even going to be developed - though it doesn't make it any worth of course.

But then I guess I have posted the wrong picture above in the post with pictures of the nominees for the Wirkd Architecture Festival.:nuts:

COBE hasn't even listed the project on their site?!

That one you (and WAN) have posted is not one of the three winning proposals, but I do remember that one with all the skyscrapers (pretty static sadly)

So what's the deal? :)

Danish architect Jan Gehl has received an NYC Award for ”exceptional contribution to New York City Streetscape and the Public Realm” .

An award for ”exceptional contribution to New York City Streetscape and the Public Realm” has been presented to Jan Gehl by New York City’s commisioner for Transport, Janette Sadik-Khan.

During the past two and a half years, Gehl Architects has been a consultant for NYC to enhance the quality of the urban environment. In just two years, 750 km (approx 450 miles) of bicycle paths have been established, many sidewalks have been widened and new squares established. The contribution by Gehl Architects was honored with the award that was presented to Jan Gehl in NYC at a ceremony, October 7, 2009.

Several bloks of Broadway have been closed to vehicle traffic, which has enabled the creation of new plazas on Times Square, Herald Square and Madison Square. A bicycle culture is steadily developing and the new squares have been received with enthusiasm by both New Yorkers as well as tourists.

Building Better Healthcare Award for C. F. Møller Architects and Akershus Hospital.

Top healthcare award for C. F. Møller

Akershus University Hospital receives Building Better Healthcare Award
The most prestigious prize in the healthcare built environment, the Building Better Healthcare Awards, has declared the Akershus University Hospital by C. F. Møller Architects as winner of the Award for Best International Design.

The UK Building Better Healthcare Award for Best International Design is intended to reward an outstanding project that contributes to new thinking and is relevant to the UK's future experience of delivering healthcare.

The Akershus University Hospital in Oslo is one of Europe's most modern hospital designs and intended to appear not as a traditional institutional building; but as a friendly, informal place with open and comprehensible surroundings oriented towards the patients and their relatives.

C. F. Møller has worked consciously to integrate the daily lives of the patients and the world outside. The aim is to make admission as secure and as close to the patient's normal life as possible. Despite its size, the complex forms a comprehensible whole which is easy to find your way around, while at the same time allowing patients to feel at home in their departments.

The internal, open boulevard, offering such services as a hairdresser, priest, library, café and pharmacy, is similar to an urban environment and normal daily life. The boulevard is five storeys tall, and concludes in a glass roof. Daylight plays an important role in making the various areas feel welcoming and secure, while the use of wood and other materials familiar to the patient from home helps create an atmosphere of safety and belonging.

The Akershus University Hospital is also a highly sustainable design, making use of locally sourced materials, and geo-thermal energy to provide 85% of the hospital's heating and more than 40% of the total energy consumption. Short distances between functions, a clear organisation and extensive use of modern technology including robotics give staff more time for patients.

The design is the result of a 1st prize in an international competition, won by C. F. Møller Architects in 2000. The buildings where completed on time and within budget, and inaugurated in 2008 after a 4 year construction period.

The 2009 Better Building Healthcare Awards attracted a record 156 entries across a range of categories, and the final stage of judging under the chair of Susan Francis, Special Advisor for Health at the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), involved individual site visits of the shortlisted entries before choosing the winner.

Two main points here:

1. This thread should be in the Regional Development-section. I never find it when I search for it!:D

2.
Nansenparken, the central park at Fornebu development area in Oslo, is nominated for The Rosa Barba European Landscape Prize. The project has been nominated along with eigth other projects throughout Europe. A winner will be awarded in the European Biennial of Landscape Architecture in Barcelona, October 1st this fall.

Contractor for the park has been Statsbygg, and landscape architects have been Bjørbekk & Lindheim.

Here's a couple of my shots from the park from last summer:

...and a few local news from Denmark:

The Nykredit Architecture Prize - Denmark's largest architectural award and one of the largest internationally in terms of prize money - went to the landscape architecture practice SLA this year. SLA is founded and headed by the landscape architect Stig L. Anderson and was most recently responsible for the very promising outdoor part of the winning entry for the new Malmö Concert Hall project alongside schmidt hammer lassen.

As one of only two architects this year, Bjarke Ingels has received a three year work grant from the Danish Arts Foundation. I am a bit puzzled by this choise since I wouldn't really think he - the co-owner of a thriving practice and a current visiting professor at Columbia University - needed the money and I can't help wondering how much extra architectural innovation the Danish state will get for its money.

Grants like these are always given to famous people and not to those who really deserve it. Thats why they are stupid...

Not really true since the other architecture recipient this year - the guy who won the competition for the new natural histury museum - isn't exactly famous. But it would certainly make a lot more sense to give it to one of the many small firms which still awaits its breakthough and struggle to establish on the architecture scene in a currently difficult market situation.

Earlier Danish LEAF Awards:

2005: Henning Larsen for IT University of Copenhagen (New Build category + Over-All)

2006: 3XN for Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam (New Build category)

2008: Schmidt Hammer Lassen for Performers House (Mixed-Use category + Over-All winner)

Don't think any other companies from our region have won any, not sure though.

wow, looks amazing!! :)

thats a worthy winner in my eyes.

I never really liked the project. It somehow hurts my eyes that the wawes are identical but this will stand out more when the next stage with three more wawes are built.

Danish Architect Bjarke Ingels Receives The European Prize for Architecture
(21/Oct/2010)

He advocates for architecture to be taught in public schools alongside science and mathematics. He has broken Denmark’s good-old boy network challenging a constipated establishment to think outside a boring box. He is challenging Europe’s mundane status quo. He is also a leading force in Europe’s Green Architecture movement producing astonishing and exemplary works of sustainable design. He has inspired Europe’s emerging young generation—of which he is apart—to push for new architecture beyond the pale fringe.

At age 38, Bjarke Ingels has already had an astonishing career and is only starting to shape a new contemporary direction in today’s European architecture.

For these reasons and numerous others, The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design have named Bjarke Ingels as the recipient for the 2010 European Prize for Architecture.

The European Architecture Prize, established as a collaborative effort between The European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum, is to be formally presented to Bjarke Ingels at “The City and The World: Madrid Symposium” November 4-7, 2010.

On Friday, November 5, at a Gala Diner and special Award’s Ceremony, together with Colegio Oficial de Arquitecturos de Madrid, Madrid’s Mayor Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón Jiménez will officially present Mr. Ingels with the lauris nobilis—symbolic of the European Prize.

Mr. Ingels will give a lecture preceding the dinner at 6:00PM at Centro de Turismo Colón, Plaza Colón, Madrid.

“We are delighted to bring to Europe and to the world’s attention this remarkable young Danish architect,” states Christian K. Narkiewicz-Laine, Museum President, The Chicago Athenaeum. “He has championed abold, fresh, and progressive atmosphere in today’s Europe and he will certainly set the stage for new ideas, a new provocative approach to design and urbanism, as well as feed the flames for a new philosophical debate in years to come.”

For this year’s Prize, The European Centre received nominations from professional organizations and societies, museums of architecture, organizations and institutions throughout Europe. Members of The European Centre’s International Advisory Committee served as the jury for the Prize. (Nominations for 2011 are due by August 1, 2011. See The European Center’s website at www.europeanarch.eu for more details.)

The purpose of The European Prize for Architecture is to honor annually a living architect whose built work demonstrates vision and talent and a body of work that has significant contributions to art and humanity.

The National Museum, department of Architecture, in Oslo is one out of four nominees for the European Concrete Award 2010 (for buildings). This prize is awarded every second years by the European Concrete Societies Network (ECSN), and the critiries to be judged are as following:

-Design
-construction
-Visual appearance and harmony of the structure with its surroundings
-Properties of concrete exploited in the design
-Innovative use of concrete in composition, structure or form
-Workmanship and finish

The prize will be announced in Rotterdam November 18th.

From before the building has been awarded the Norwegian "concrete tablet" of 2009, the highest ranked Norwegian prize for concrete constructions.


The museum merges an older building with new space. It was drawn by Norwegian Sverre Fehn, and was on of his last projects before he passed away in the spring of 2009.

A small side note, is that the award did also go to a Norwegian project in 2008, more specificly the Gyldendal house in Universitetsgata. Architect then as now, was Sverre Fehn.

The small Danish firm Svendborg Architects from Copenhagen is listed by Wallpaper in their "2011 Wallpaper Architects Directory" of 20 of the most interesting young talents in international architecture.


Svendborg Architects
Denmark

A member of the Danish Academy Council, a government advisor on architecture and art, and assistant professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts - School of Architecture, it is hard to believe Johnny Svendborg only set up his practice in 2007. The firm now employs ten architects at its Copenhagen base. Of our brief, he says: 'A summer house should accentuate a certain dialogue with the landscape and make space for intimacy.' His retreat is designed off a curved deck and around a core defined by a glass roof, with transparent walls that can be opened, highlighting the house's interaction with the landscape, framing its views and connecting the interior with the outside terraces
