Contest Selection for Mecanoo in Boston, United States of America
Delft, August 25, 2009
Mecanoo short-listed for project in Boston
Mecanoo has been selected to create a conceptual design for a 21st
century city hall in Roxbury, a neighbourhood of Boston. The project
involves designing a new 16,000 square meter municipal office building
on the site of the historic Ferdinand Building, which will be integrated
into the new project. Boston's Mayor Menino envisions this project,
through a collaborative effort with the local community, as a remarkable
opportunity to create a modern, flexible and green municipal office
facility that will extend improved City services to the neighbourhood,
strengthen the public realm and help inaugurate a new era for Roxbury.
Mecanoo has teamed up with Sasaki Architects and Arup out of Boston
for the project and will compete against nine other teams for new
city hall which is estimated at €63,000,000. The winner will
be announced on the 25th of September.
Mecanoo architecten was founded in Delft in 1984, employing over 90
professionals in the fields of architecture, interior design, urban
planning, landscape architecture and architectural engineering. The
award winning practice is directed by its original founding architect/director
Francine M.J. Houben. With projects all over the world, Mecanoo has
a diverse range of project types including libraries, theatres, urban
plans, residential neighborhoods, private villas, high rise, university
and academic buildings, office buildings and even a chapel. Mecanoo
recently submitted the design for a new Rotterdam City Hall as part
of an invited design competition and is currently designing the new
City Hall and Train Station in Delft.
