Jury feedback
Nuno Pimenta: The design creates a strong physical experience for the visitor, effectively using the visitor's engagement with the building as a metaphor for the themes it explores. It highlights the relationship between the built environment and human experience, the decisions and consequences of the movement through space.

Kerim Miskavi: The simple and poetic nature of the proposal evokes a powerful response. The sectional strategy in differentiating the approach to the two culmination points are well considered, adding another layer of complexity to the duality of the positive and negative emotion spaces. 

Tommaso Calistri: The project depicts extremely well the contrast between the two different spaces and the emotions they evoke. The concept is very simple yet the spaces are quite articulated. The tension created by the placement of the giant boulder is remarkable. A simple yet well documented drawing package summarizes the project clearly and without redundancy.
Jury feedback summary:
The proposal slices through a mountain to offer a tunnel-like sequence of spaces, one that is geometrically complex yet rendered simple through the project’s clear sections. The white mass of the museum emerges from a mountainside as if a foreign object, in stark contrast to the surrounding rocky brown environment. The dialectical dialogue with nature is continued in the two exhibition areas, with one set in a dark space of extreme tension where visitors stand beneath a heavy boulder seemingly lodged in the mountainside, about to break loose; the other is set in a daylight-filled space opening up to a green paradise complete with lush trees, grass and water. This is a project that successfully plays with spatial compression, light and darkness to elicit emotional response.
