The Nobel Prize is looking for a new home, and Japanese architectural firm SANAA has a plan to turn that home into a futuristic landmark. Created as part of a design competition for the upcoming Nobel Center in Stockholm, the concept — dubbed the Nobel Sphere — features six giant, transparent spheres of varying height along the citys waterfront. The spheres lightly nudge, stack, and intersect with one another leading to a collection of spaces with soft connections to all sides, architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa explain. The jury is still out on what the new home for the Nobel Prize will look like, but you can check out the remaining three candidates here.
