Jury "Prix de Rome Architecture 2006"

"As in the preliminary round, Rietveld was successful with his approach to the assignment in the final round by using processes and elements that were already present. What is more, he demonstrated that he can also initiate more complicated systems with this approach, and integrate them with each other. Certain elements appear rather surrealistic, but do give the project a powerful identity. And because Rietveld has thought through absolutely everything, it seems that all those elements eventually meld into a model for a place with true stature".
