Additional Information

“The sculpture, set in a serene park, is delicate, ephemeral, and mysterious, yet it serves as a powerful provocation and poignant reminder of life’s fragility. Though it pushes the boundaries of an architecture award, its beautiful and thought-provoking design resonates deeply. What better role for an architect than to remind us of our impact on the planet, and this piece does so in a subtle, spiritual, and moving way.” -Jury Comments
