The jury recognized the masterful dialogue between the old and new, the more restrained approach to the redesign of 'urban villages' in dense Chinese city centres. Wanggang Park is a social space that is, above all, generous to its users and respectful of traditional elements from the rich Chinese culture. Several concrete elements of the existing structures were rearranged to reference ancient calligraphic elements. The abundance of features for sitting and covering provides shelter in less favourable weather conditions. Wanggang Park is, considering its historical milieu, a remarkable social space well equipped for transgenerational use.

Estudio Ome again receives recognition with a lush garden, and the jury was impressed by Ome's ability to blur the margins between the 'wild' and the 'tamed'. The garden establishes a firm and fitting relation between the geometry of the architecture, new features and the forest. The designers added the notion of 'ruin', where the intention was to render some new structures rapidly overgrown by the lush vegetation as if they were historic remains being rediscovered. This is achieved carefully through vegetation letting it kick in and, formally, by just the right amount of suggestion that doesn't feel overdone at all. Or, in the words of the designers, they questioned 'how the landscape project could possibly disappear with time or reappear when used'. Such a design statement reflects a mature attitude where playfulness also embeds a much larger question of the temporality of the garden.
