DISSING+WEITLING is shortlisted for the international WAN Award
Dissing+Weitling is shortlisted for the international WAN (World
Architecture News) Award 2010 with the Rambøll Head Office
(RHO).RHO is the result of a close joint-venture partnership with
Rambøll, SEB and Pihl.
Prize's other nominees are Studio Daniel Liebeskind, Skidmore
Owings & Merrill (SOM), Imago, Igenhoven architects and The
Oval Partnership.
About the project they write:
"The building is a result of an open-minded and creative process between users, engineers, architects, investor and contractor. The compact and movement-driven central space holds a unique quality and is a modern and new response to increasing demands for buildings designed for innovation and corporation. With its walkways and curved balconies bustling with life, the interior challenges the rigour of the seamless 5,000 sq m double-skinned glass façade creating the impression of an open, yet refined piece of architecture".
