Beurteilung durch das Preisgericht

Culture - Completed Buildings category was won by Heneghan Peng Architects’ Palestinian museum. This limestone clad museum is situated on the campus of Beret University, near Ramallah on the West Bank. The judging panel commended Heneghan Peng for “working with the contours of Palestine. Described as a “fragile terrain”, the architects have made a museum without a collection. Like the place and culture where it is situated, this building will define its purpose over time”.
