Jurors for the RAIC 2021 International Prize stated, “[T]he network of streets and squares that define the circulation system – a combination of large and small spaces that are open but partially covered and connected by stairs and ramps – provides a combination of shade and cooling breezes that recalls the tropical forest. The tight scale of this common ground and the careful introduction of direct sunlight at different times of the day create moments of light and shade that are poetic.”
