Introduction 3 1. Introduction We are facing a major and exciting challenge! The Nobel Prize has been awarded for more than 110 years. Among the Nobel Laureates are fixed stars like Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Ernest Hemingway and Martin Luther King, but also several hundred other amazing indi- viduals, all of whom have “conferred the greatest benefit on mankind”, as stated in the will of Alfred Nobel. We are now looking forward to and taking on the task of creating a building dedicated to encouraging discovery, creativity and new thinking. Nobel Center is to become the new home for the Nobel Prize in Stockholm. Nobel Center is to be built on Blasieholmen, a wonderful place along Stockholm’s central waterfront. With its wide-ranging activities, we believe the Nobel Center will increase the value of the site for the public and make it more accessible both for residents of Stockholm and for visitors from farther away. Nobel Center will also serve as the natural base for our international activities related to the Nobel Prize. The following pages present the brief for an international architectural competition implemented in two stages. The aim of the competition is to identify the concept and architectural design of the Nobel Center. We envision that this will be a platform for inspiring meetings with the future Nobel Laureates – whether school children being intro- duced to scientific research for the first time or researchers who have come to Stockholm to receive their Nobel Prize. We eagerly await the journey ahead of us and welcome everyone, not just the architects participating in the competition, to accompany us along the way.
