PAR SHORTLISTED IN KEELUNG COMPETITION

Jul 27 2012

On 27, Jul 2012 | In PROJECTS | By Ruben Rodela

PAR in a collaboration with SES and Buro Happold have been shortlisted in the international, two-stage Keelung Harbor Gateway competition in Keelung, Taiwan. To become a landmark, the project adopts a form that resists easy classification to free-associate with symbols of the utilitarian, the industrial, the poetic. A global gateway, the tower represents Taiwan’s cultural progress and modern commerce. Teams will present final designs to a distinguished international jury in mid September.

Shortlisted Teams: Asymptote, NMDA, Mecanoo, PAR + SES and ACDF
Final Jury Presentations: September 11th, 2012
Project Area: 120.000 m2
Project Budget: $211,00 US
Competition Jury: Aaron Betsky, Cai Yuan Liang, Gene King, Kiyoshi Miyazaki, Michael Speaks, Su Yu Zhe, Wang Ming Hung and Wei Jenn
