THE FIVE ARCHITECTURE FINALISTS ARE:
→ Plato Contemporary Art Gallery
PLATO, Městská Galerie Současného Umění.
City.- Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Architects.- KWK Promes.
Client.- Ostrava City Council.
Program.- Culture.
"By safeguarding a historic building and converting it into an art gallery, we have introduced a solution that democratizes art. By unusually rotating the walls, the art comes out to the outside of the building. Additionally, we transformed the previously contaminated space around the gallery into a biodiverse art park that benefits residents."

→ Study Pavilion on the campus of the Technical University of Braunschweig
Studierendenhaus TU Braunschweig.
City.- Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, Germany.
Architects.- Gustav Düsing and Max Hacke.
Client.- Technische Universität Braunschweig.
Program.- Education.
"The new study pavilion on the grounds of the Technical University of Braunschweig is an open space designed to host various educational activities. The concept follows the principle of a superstructure that allows the user to change and reconfigure the layout of the building to meet the constantly changing requirements in a rapidly developing campus context. Through its highly flexible design, the pavilion becomes ephemeral and, therefore, responsive. This ensures that its current relevance as a new typology is perpetuated."

"The building, built in 1480, listed as a historical monument, partially in ruins, lay dormant. The architect had to rebuild it without moving away from the vestiges of the past. 'I believe in superior and invisible forces. Located on a peak, on a promontory, it was a defensive castle before being a place of prayer and retreat, chosen by monks aware of the absolute beauty of the place. Faith approaches the sublime."

Architects.- Brendeland & Kristoffersen architects.
Client.- Lund Cathedral.
Program.- Landscaping.
"Hage is a quality public space that should function both as a space for public debate, events, and workshops in the short term and, in the long term, offer a meditative and beautiful urban space and garden in the heart of a new neighborhood. Open to everyone, it is an answer to the question of how to build a new community: start with the social space. "

THE TWO FINALISTS OF EMERGING ARCHITECTURE ARE:
→ Gabriel García Márquez Library
City.- Barcelona, Catalonia.
Architects.- SUMA arquitectura.
Client.- BIMSA Barcelona Municipality.
Program.- Education.
"The García Márquez is a pioneering reference library that culminates a three-decade plan of construction of these facilities in Barcelona. It is at the service of a working-class and demanding neighborhood, lacking important investments for years, and which has since claimed its 'popular palace'."

Architects.- Branco del Rio.

Geir Brendeland, Olav Kristoffersen. Brendeland and Kristoffersen
Brendeland & Kristoffersen. Norwegian architects Geir Brendeland and Olav Kristoffersen have developed a wide-ranging practice over the past fifteen years, designing exquisite buildings, teaching students, and thinking through the implications of building in the 21st century. Known for their ambitious approach to housing, urban development and social provision, they have also worked on temporary, sometimes peripatetic, projects including exhibitions, installations and public interventions. Both Brendeland and Kristoffersen teach in the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway, which situates their practice within a critical discourse.
Their interest in Råängen stems from a broad commitment to a common good as well as long-term engagement in issues relating to land ownership, communal ways of living, vernacular architecture, craft and local materials. Many of their projects involve communal activities that involve a broad range of people, including teenagers, children and adults. Their public space for Råängen will help set the tone for future development on the Church’s land in Brunnshög and will involve collaboration with Lund Municipality and the University.
