Described as “Certainly one of the outstanding entries in the competition, this design is a brilliant and sensitive solution to the unique site and demanding program. In its highly imaginative use of the site, its integration of internal and external space and its strong visual form, the design demonstrates high competence and quality. The jury admired the quality of the internal spaces and the ease with which the building functions. The greatcentral interior space with its north wall of glass serves to integrate the various internal functions, as well as providing an inviting visual symbol. The totality of the design, the admirable graphics make this entry worth careful study.”
