Shared first prize (in alphabetical order)
Living Monument
Sarina Bleumink, AvB Arnhem (architecture)
The felicitously designed and magnificently presented project for repurposing a potato starch plant in Coevorden is a convincing example of how to deal with memory. It transforms the ruins of the plant into a meaningful element in the city. The design has been scrupulously elaborated in every detail and in its material expression.
Nature Is Under Your Feet
Charlotte van der Woude, AvB Amsterdam (landscape architecture)
Operating at a number of strategically chosen sites in London, this project literally descends to the former River Fleet now flowing unseen below the city into the Thames. At each site is a carefully designed intervention that brings the ground plane into contact with the subterranean river. Each site has its own biotope created for specific flora and fauna. This strategy deftly introduces the idea of nature beneath the city into how we perceive that city as a whole.
Permeable Borders
Felipe Chaves Gonzalez, TU-Delft (urban design)
Permeable Borders tackles a brief that is relevant and complex in equal measure. The aim is to improve the integration of vulnerable inhabitants in Rio de Janeiro. The designer succeeds convincingly in his strategy for a development model for Rio, including a realistic and practical toolkit to heal the city. The proposal excels in its strategic planning and meta-planning.
Honourable mentions (in alphabetical order)
Achterhuis
Paul Kuipers, AvB Amsterdam (architecture)
A fascinating design for a home for Edward Snowdon in Amsterdam’s canal district.
A Sense of Home
Patrick Roegiers, AvB Amsterdam (architecture)
The designer lived for a while among the homeless, drawing on his experiences to design two facilities that the homeless lack: a kitchen (Dapperkeuken) and a bedroom (Bedsteeg) in Amsterdam’s Jordaan quarter.
