London’s Design Museum has nominated Sydney’s One Central Park by Ateliers Jean Nouvel and PTW Architects for its Designs of the Year Awards 2015.
The residential tower is among fifteen international buildings nominated in the architecture category. To achieve the title of Design of the Year, One Central Park not only has to contest with Frank Gehry’s Foundation Louis Vuitton and O’Donnell + Tuomey’s Saw Swee Hock Student Centre (also a finalist for the 2015 Mies van der Rohe Prize), but also nominated designs in other categories including Google’s self-driving car.
The nominated buildings are:
One Central Park by Ateliers Jean Nouvel and PTW Architects.
Saw Swee Hock Student Centre (UK) – O’Donnell + Tuomey
UC Innovation Centre (Chile) – Elemental
Waterbank Campus (Kenya) – Pitch Africa
A jury will consider the nominated designs before announcing a winner for each category on 4 May 2015 and an overall Design of the Year on 4 June 2015.
On the jury are: Anish Kapoor (chair of the committee and artist), Nicole Farhi (sculptor and fashion designer) Tom Lloyd (PearsonLloyd), and Farshid Moussavi (Harvard Graduate School of Design).
The nominees will be exhibited at London’s Design Museum from 25 March to 23 August 2015. See all seventy-six nominated designs here.
