Black Prince Road Tower 14 Sep Keith Williams Architects Cultural Projects Keith Williams Architects has ended the summer with invitations to compete for a clutch of high profile cultural projects in Austria, Norway and Germany. In Austria, Keith Williams is the only UK architect to have been shortlisted to redesign the 1980's Kulturzentrum in Eisenstadt, the seat of the Esterházy dynasty who were important patrons of Joseph Haydn, in a town which has become famous for its annual Haydn festival. The €15 million project aimed at redefining the centre's urban setting and external expression, involves the extensive remodelling of the existing building, upgrading its 800 seat auditorium, whilst creating a new wing housing a 200 seat theatre, art gallery, foyers and support spaces. In Tønsberg near Olso, Williams' office is again the only UK participant among 7 international architects to design the new Støperiet Culture House which will restore a former wharf building dating from 1903, and a 3,000 sqm new cultural building containing a theatre, galleries and music teaching spaces. In Frankfurt, in the Dom-Römer Areal (above) the historic city centre which links the cathedral and the old rathaus, Keith Williams has been invited to design proposals for a new multi-functional public exhibition and event building, on a site containing a series of medieval and roman archaeological remains immediately adjacent to the city's Historisches Museum. In nearby Alzenau, the firm has been asked to propose designs for a new music school and 1,000 seat multifunctional event hall. Competing against firms such as Snøhetta, Jo Coenen, Kleihues & Kleihues and Ortner & Ortner, Keith Williams Architects has until early November to submit its designs for all 4 projects. 2009 has been a busy year for the firm with the first major monograph on the firm's work entitled Keith Williams : Architecture of the Specific (Images Publishing) due to be released in November, its 1200 seat Marlowe Theatre complex in Canterbury now under construction and its Chichester Museum due to start at the end of the year.
