JURY CITATION
This scheme was distinguished by a particularly principled mission statement which established reassuring objectives.
The challenge as identified by the student is to create meaningful and moral public spaces in a city that is presently spiralling into over-development. It is an [nobr]even-handed[/nobr] presentation involving both thorough primary analysis of the existing Singaporean conditions and an elegant proposal to reinforce the cultural life of the city. It provides an alternative to the contemporary single icon building solution, as it creates an urban platform for Singaporean life. The presentation was enhanced by the analysis of a built model and whimsical collages.

JURY CITATION%br%%br%A high level of resolution and a systematic architectural thought process are evident in this scheme. The presentation convincingly portrays a variety of scales and spaces, from the broad contextual presence within otherwise marginal urban spaces to the intimate detail of the working laboratory. The scheme offers a public campus during the day, and at night a communicating graphic within the city. This scheme reflects independent thought.
