A thoroughly appropriate project for this context, underpinned by a strong strategic approach. Crisp, visually alluring drawings articulate the idea and its development superbly well. This is an extremely accomplished and well resolved scheme.Judges’ Comments
There is clarity and confidence in the depiction of this strategy for urban transport nodes. This scheme, for a densely inhabited barrio within a South American city, has a social conscience, encourages patronage of public transport, is demonstrative of economic good sense and endeavours to reinforce social cohesion.Judges’ Comments
The project fuses a robust, well-researched, technical argument with a focus on local economic benefit. Different scenarios are tested towards a solution which is very much focussed on community in its emphasis. Well-drawn and clearly expressed, the technical arguments are well made.Judges’ Comments
