"The new building proposal is, in greater area, physically separated with a courtyard from the existing long French gallery building.
A Foyer looks west to the courtyard and the long wall of the existing Gallery. The galleries are aligned north south behind the Foyer and shop area".

Ordrupgaard was designed by the architect Gotfred Tvede (1863-1947) and built in the years 1916-1918. The extensive park was laid out at the same time.

Zaha Hadid, nicknamed "The reigning queen of the avant garde architecture", is very, very busy.
On May 24th ground was broken for the Rosenthal Center; the first free-standing home of the CAC, the Contemporary Arts Center, and the first American building designed by Zaha Hadid, who in 1998 was awarded First Prize in the International competition.
Zaha Hadid also won first prize for the Center for Contemporary Art and Architecture in Rome and the Science Center in Wolfsburg, Germany.

The projects can be seen in the ICA Touring Exhibition that focuses on three museums that have won Zaha Hadid the First Prize in International competitions.

Also in the works are: a Ski-jump in Innsbruck, Austria, a masterplan for Singapore's Science Hub, a public square in Barcelona as well as major bridge structure in Abu Dhabi. A landscape design for the Strasbourg Tramway is under construction and due for completion later this year. The Science Centre in Wolfsburg, Germany and a ferry terminal in Salerno, Italy are in planning stage and due for completion in 2003.

The entries were accessed on the basis of the architectural, functional and technical solutions proposed as compared with the requirements formulated in the competition brief. In the assessment, great emphasis was put on the architectural and functional solutions proposed within the financial framework applying to the project.
