In the words of Benjamin Millepied, the Chairman of the Jury:
“Architecture has the ability to display creative and stylistic diversity with great force. That diversity is the sign that the attention given to nature, togetherness and different forms of expertise can help an environment emerge, one that is both receptive to expression and capable of harmony. Such an assembly of actors from every background reminds us of culture’s unique talent for leading humankind into dialogue.”
