PRIZE
- PRIZE: THE INTERLACE and Ole Scheeren of OMA (Singapore, Singapore)
"The Interlace emphasizes a creative potential tropical environment provided by investing the types of towers in the park by the tower as a park. Furthermore, integration, both vertical and horizontal, habitable infrastructure, global set ends up being a whole rather than a sum of different parts of the project. "
Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang Architects
"The Interlace is by far a fair winner for the inaugural Urban Habitat Award. Conclusively demonstrates real opportunity for tall buildings to create urban spaces in high quality, only if we break with preconceived design of skyscrapers as an isolated element, a disjointed icon. No doubt that was Singapore who has promoted a building of its kind, given their history with very slender buildings with connection between them.
In The Interlace see the intentions of the Japanese Metabolism as an effect of fantasy. "
