Jury citation
Given Sir Miles Warren’s legacy of architectural clarity, largely achieved through legibility of honest construction methods, this award is appropriate for a building that uses straightforward architectural moves to achieve an outsized effect. With a building of this size, the fine-grained composition has an extraordinary impact on a city. The impression of depth is surprising among so many flat-glass buildings, and movement past the building brings it further to life. At times, the artwork makes movement through the interior a gallery-like experience. This sense of art brought to life through architecture is also extended to the city, which is a generous and engaging gesture.
