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".
