SANAA and Snohetta have been jointly awarded first prize in a restricted competition to build a "New National Gallery – Ludwig Museum" in Budapest's 200-year-old Varosliget (City Park). Lauded for their "equally outstanding" proposals, the winning teams will now meet with the jury to be judged "on professional and financial considerations".

The competition is part of a larger cultural project that aims to renew the city's Varosliget by 2018 with five new museum buildings built inside the expanded park area.
