Juror Comments: Clear planning and order within building. Clarity of concept and consistent in details. Restraint in material and consistency of use. Well detailed tectonics. Appropriate sense of Composition and proportion. Continuity of details inside and outside. Presentation quality. How exterior reflects interior program and vice versa.
Juror Comments: Exciting educational space, breaks to mold of typical vocational school. Brings design sensibility to a school of craft and invigorates what could be an otherwise banal industrial building. Quote from Architect “architecture is at its best when it inspires…creates intrinsic desire to learn”. How the building is a very flexible technical environment and expressive of that both aesthetically and functionally.
Juror Comments: Exceptional adaptive reuse. Architects intervention of removing floors and adding skylight dramatically energized building. Created internal transparency and connection in section. Stripped the building back to bare bones and brought back life through modern finishes. Clear, consistent executions of finishes throughout building.
Juror Comments: Inspired by architects position to resist “gym within a warehouse” from client statement. Defining campus edge, using natural features. Building as a linkage in transition between horizontal and vertical conditions of the landscape. Creatively integrating an otherwise inflexible program, like gym, running track, climbing walls. Creates synergistic energy between activities.
