The
´óÏó´«Ã½ Music Centre competition has been conducted in two rounds.
Although
the jury was impressed by the proposals that were submitted in round
one, the initial designs were in excess of the figure that had been
clearly established in the competition brief.
We
had to ensure that the winner’s scheme could be realised on
budget and the architects were asked to resubmit their designs.
At
that point, we also reduced the number of architects from five to
four (see Biographies of Architects).
