Swedish Building Comeptition
Asplund Architecture Competition - News Update
13 Nov 2009
Stockholm City Council has abandoned this project following funding
problems and due to pressure from various groups opposed to building
so close to Asplund's celebrated design. No clear reason has emerged
though removal of extensions to Asplund's building and proximity of
the proposed design have been stated.
Ed. Irrespective of whether one thinks the competition or indeed the
winning entry were appropriate, there needs to be much more effort
to ensure winning competition entries are built. So much architects'
time is wasted on these competitions, for example the Cardiff Opera
House contest won by Zaha Hadid Architects, only to never make the
light of day.
