Extract from the jury's comments: “The excellent internal and external qualities, which are d on the overall organisation of the design, raises it clearly above the level of the other projects. Of particular quality is the ing of built and unbuilt areas, which achieve a connection to all building locations on the campus and their respective outdoor areas, as well as with the central boulevard. Through the broad water axis and the building for ThyssenKrupp headquarters, the familiar urban structure obtains its own status as a place of urban spatial experience. Through the stand-alone, distinctive form of the HQ building, the ensemble becomes a landmark of appropriate dimension in the city centre - a symbol and of ThyssenKrupp. In conclusion, the design exhibits the necessary strengths to form the basis of outstanding architecture as a symbol for the global organisation's power of innovation.”
