    Quotes from the awards jury:

    "This is a skillful weaving of a considerable bulk of a new building to an existing facility in a way that seems pretty effortless."

    "The tectonic treatments of the interior are effective. The rounded-off effect reduces the building's bulkiness and makes it feel smaller."

    "The project has such a complex program. With this knitting together, it shows strong continuity around the building. There are a lot of intervals with nice transitions from one material to another."
