BIG gets new award for Mountain Dwellings

Lagt online 07.08.09

Urban Land Institute presents Award of Excellence to the Mountain in Copenhagen New Town, Ørestad. The Mountain has been selected as a winner of an Urban Land Institute (ULI) 2009 Award for Excellence: Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) competition.

The Awards for Excellence competition is widely regarded as the land use industry’s most prestigious recognition program. The awards recognize the full development process of a project, not just its architecture or design. The criteria for the awards include leadership, contribution to the community, innovations, public/private partnership, environmental protection and enhancement, response to societal needs, and financial success.

- After winning the Housing category at last year’s World Architecture Festival in Barcelona and being shortlisted for the Mies van der Rohe Award 2009 and receiving the 2009 MIPIM Award we are becoming aware of the fact, that other people appreciate this building too. So we are very proud and honored, to have been acknowledged by the ULI EMEA, says Bjarke Ingels, founding partner, BIG

The 2009 ULI EMEA Awards for Excellence winning projects were selected from among 17 countries.
