The project has the backing of Sweden\u2019s wealthy Wallenberg family and the Perssons, who control H&amp;M. The proposed building has been designed to host exhibitions and seminars as well as the annual awards ceremonies, which are currently held in Stockholm\u2019s concert hall.<\/p>\n<p>But its numerous critics include residents\u2019 groups, political parties, heritage organisations and even the normally reserved Carl XVI Gustaf, who told Dagens Nyheter newspaper two years ago that it would be gigantic and \u2018too dominant\u2019&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ylva Lageson of Nobelhuset, the company charged with building and running the centre, said it was \u2018disappointed with this verdict &#8230;\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 The Stockholm city councillor Jan Valeskog said the council would appeal against the ruling&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2018\/may\/23\/plans-100m-nobel-centre-blocked-by-swedish-court-stockholm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more&#8230;.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new David Chipperfield-designed Nobel Centre would harm Stockholm waterfront, a cultural heritage site, the land and environment court rules, in a report from the Guardian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ihbc-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19173"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19175,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19173\/revisions\/19175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
