David Chipperfield wins Nobel Centre competition
London and Berlin-based David Chipperfield Architects has won the competition to design Stockholm's new Nobel Centre.
The 25,000 sq m Nobel Centre will be situated as a brass-clad 'solitaire' in a prominent water-edge position on Blasieholmen next to the Swedish National Museum in the centre of Stockholm. It will give the Nobel Prize a home for the first time in its more than 100-year history.
Due to open in 2018, the Centre will feature an auditorium for future Nobel Prize ceremonies, a museum, conference facilities and offices as well as a restaurant, bar and shop.
David Chipperfield said: 'We are extremely excited and honoured to have been selected to be the architects for the Nobel Centre. We look forward to working together to develop a building that reflects both the values of the Nobel Prize and the high expectations of the citizens of Stockholm.'
