Hall of Fame - the Awards Thread

...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.

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

thats a worthy winner in my eyes.

[ramblersen]

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 few pictures of the museum:













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. See pics from Google here: http://www.google.no/images?hl=no&q=...=1899&bih=1044

thread moved, after a forumer pointed out this would be a more logical location since it is all about architecture and thus not really off-topic

Actually the Wawe by Henning Larsen Architects in Vejle, Denmark, is also to be found among the 27 2011 Civic Trust Award winners as the only project in our region. So two out of 27 went to Danish architects, not bad!
