BUILDING

Address

Project

Vladimir Djurovic Landscape Architecture

Broumana, Lebanon

Square Four Public Garden, Beirut, Lebanon

Judges Comments: The Four Square Public Garden brings a moment of calm to the often superficial and fiddly reconstruction of central Beirut. It shows remarkable sensitive understanding of the nature of urban space, the elements, and the materials used in its construction. Detailing is immaculate - and appropriate for an urban open space..

 

Tabanlioglu Architecture & Consulting Ltd.Co.

Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbal Modern, Istanbul, Turkey

Judges Comments: Istanbul Modern has suggested new relationships between the city and the Bosporus by imaginatively converting previously neglected warehouses into galleries that have become extraordinarily popular.
