The Japanese and Norweigan architects have been awarded first prize in the restricted international competition for the New National Gallery–Ludwig Museum in Budapest's 200-year-old City Park.
Since the 11-member jury* deemed SANAA and Snøhetta's designs to be of equally outstanding value, which architecture firm will design the New National Gallery–Ludwig Museum will be determined "during meetings with the architects, based on professional and financial considerations," per a statement from The Liget Budapest Project.
The two museums are part of a planned five museums for Budapest's new museum quarter, making it Europe's largest museum development project currently underway. The other museums are the Hungarian House of Music (Sou Fujimoto), the Enthnographic Museum (Vallet de Martinis DIID Architectes), the Hungarian Museum of Architecture and the FotoMuzeum (both Középülettervező Zrt.), all, with the New National Gallery–Ludwig Museum, be located on the edges of the City Park and on sites occupied by buildings targeted for demolition.
Two second-place awards were given to Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos and to the joint proposal of Balázs Mihály's Architect Studio and the Faculty of Architecture of Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Other architects submitting valid projects are David Chipperfield Architects, Mecanoo, gmp, Henning Larsen Architects, and Davis Brody Bond.
