JURY COMMENTS

Fabulous essay organized around the senses and punctuated with compelling imagery. The bridge as a metaphor for connections is woven throughout. Strong connection between experience and architecture.
-Gail Brager


All the cases in the essay are very related to the topic. Although the argument is very comprehensive, it would be helpful to jump into some arguments, not just in a superficial way.
-Xudong Zhu
