Golden Lion – Nov 1st, 2006
TRANSFORM, COBE, EFFEKT, CEBRA, UID & DAC receives the Golden Lion Award for national pavilion at the 10th International Architecture Biennale in Venice. The project CO-EVOLUTION got the follwoing remarks from the international jury including Richard Sennet and Zaha Hadid: The Golden Lion Award for national pavilions is awarded to Denmark (CO-EVOLUTION, Danish/Chinese collaboration on sustainable urban development in China). This pavilion shows us a country looking outward rather than inward, bringing its expertise to bear on the ecological problems faced by cities in China. The Danish pavilion does more than catalogue these ecological challenges; the Danish planners and architects propose concrete solutions to water and energy management through visual forms of aesthetic merit. And the Danes show what they themselves learned from their Chinese colleagues. We salute the creativity, intelligence, and generosity of the Danish pavilion.
