Kommentar der Jury:
This experimental space, based on 10 years of research into granular systems, is surprising. It surprises with an extremely strong atmosphere, created less by the chosen material than by its unique properties. The result is a conceptual, material-oriented aesthetic that conveys the enormous potential of artificial, granular materials in architecture in a remarkable way.
