competition win – new website

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Well it has been a long time between drinks so to speak.  However i have some exciting news for you all.

I have a new website for starters….www.langdonreiszahn.com which will complement rosslangdon.com with a few of my own projects.

The new site has come about through the formation of a new collaboration between myself, Ana Reis from Porto and Matthias Zahn from Hamburg. Together we have formed a collaborative studio focussing on architecture,  design and research projects.  Our first major collaboration has resulted in the joint first prize win in an open international ideas competition for a new cultural centre in Bodo, Norway.

The competition will take on two phases.  The first was intended to clarify the location, massing and articulation of the built forms, composition and urban design of the adjacent site areas and public spaces.

In the second phase three of the winning teams from phase one (Langdon Reis Zahn-london, drdh ARCHITECTS-london and General Architecture-sweden), will compete against three other competitively selected participants to design and construct the new cultural buildings.

The new cultural centre is projected to be approximately 11,700 sq.m. (126,000 square feet) with a construction budget of NOK 630,000,000.
