“Contemplate
Shining
Completely lost
Finally alone for a moment
Bury the sound
Try to see clearly
Step by step, through these withered beginnings
Carry it further
And in a pleasant despair
Question what the city believes it saw born, one day.
This is just a way to start.”
(Excerpt from proposal) 

“The jury opined that these gigantic, even out-of-scale structures arranged according to a rigid orthogonal grid would, paradoxically, generate a feeling of closeness. The project was likened to a massive vibrating sculpture, or perhaps an urban forest brought to life by the light and sounds from the expressway or the métro.”
