Comment from the jury:
The strength of this design lies in the building system diagram, the gentle and easy relationship between indoor and outdoor space. It gives a lot of consideration for environmental issues. You come into the feel of the building while you are still in your car.  The shaded walkways take you into more programmatic space.  In general, it proposes a gentle relationship between climate, people, and activities.

G&W
This design is submitted by G&W, with team members Gong Dong and Weiwei Luo, based in Chicago, Illinois.

Comment from the jury:
The brilliance in this design is in its sexiness. It captures the imagination.  Sustainability tends to look boring. This building was brave and took risks.  There is kinetic nature to it -- the human interface creates movement.  The building would give Kapolei something to talk about.

Akar-Prakar
This design is submitted by Akar-Prakar, with team member Abhinand Lath, who was born and raised in India.  Abhinand Lath is an architecture student at the University of Michigan, and will graduate in December 2003.

Comment from the jury:
This architecture is more a process than a product. It proposes to grow materials on land and use it as it grows.  It is a poetic idea, perhaps not realistic in terms of time, but it makes a statement of what architecture needs to be concerned about -- where materials come from. It has beautiful sections and is compelling.

Comment from the jury:
The self-contained structure is beautiful and stunning. It is an attractive building that would be a nice addition to the community as a landmark.  The design captures the essence of the heart of the Malama Learning Center -- a symbol of the merging of conservation and the arts.

The strength of the project is in its very economical language that makes a well-organized building.  It sets up a real distinction between landscape and building that gets woven and intertwined with each other.

Comment from the jury:
The core idea of the project is beautiful.  It is described as being hard on the land and soft on the landscape.  The idea is developed by making the concrete building rise up and be shielded with burned wood. The power of the idea and clarity is striking and the thinking and vision that generated this project is respected.
