These projects received high praise and recognition from the international design jury. Other leading design firms participating in the exhibition included BIG, WEISS/MANFREDI, WORKac, and other top global architecture practices.
“This project is focused on kind of research and helping pandas, but I think the thing is really like about this building was integration to landscape, with this kind of circular form that weave in and around the landscape, and hopefully helping to restore and protect the pandas, we thought it was visionary in the way that it tries to approach and integrate in that way.”

"There's a lyricism to this, that sort of takes the idea of trying to make an enclosure that protects the pandas that turns to something bigger than that, and it’s that delicacy of approach which was very appealing, and we do hope that the sanctuary is really looking after our friends who coming black and white."

"it was the way it modified the outside space, we didn’t really have enough information and understand what is happening inside, so I can’t speak to that, but its anthropomorphic character and sense of emotional, sort of evocation was quite beautiful and you know that is gonna to be surrounded by a bunch of blocky building that you see on the right, and it became a very fluid and a very different kind of space which offering the community to gathering."
——Julie Eizenberg
"I think it‘s a nice marriage kind of expression, soft underbelly there, with sort of Miesian sensibility and those two things come together and make something out, and I thought that was quite clever, as well too, you know, provide impressive character, that you wouldn’t expect when that the two things get together. Pretty good."
