“Choosing the work with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat,” said jury member Peter Cachola Schmal, Director of the German Museum of Architecture in Frankfurt.. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down to the top 3 winners as well as the winner of a special award. We believe that the work of Mr. Boettger, winner of the first price, embodies the vision, drive and sensibility to successfully define a new urban common place.”
Applications from 13 different countries including Luxembourg, Germany, Italy, Austria, France, Switzerland, Poland, Belgium, Armenia, Japan, China and Russia have been submitted. The
