For the region of L´Aquila but also for a more resource-sufficient future for all of us.

A 1st price for a coherent process to develop with simple but surprising elements a long lasting and joyfull living space, connecting two parts of a well kept urban system. And for the human and touristic approach to public and private activities in a condensed context.
Honorable mention
Group “Social and Cultural Infrastructure” (Copenhagen): Erling Christoffer Forfang, Camilla Grappelli , Lena Pipkorn, Christian Zilisch
An honorable mention for the light impact on the sensitive infrastructure of the bay and the urban context. The intervention is a missing link between the two city areas and will help the developed area to be requalified. And for the intelligent use of renewable energies and recycled elements.
The Jury thanks the students for the creative but responsible work during an intensive week.
