Commendation \u2013<\/i><\/b> Binus Kindergarten and Primary School by Denton Corker Marshall Jakarta (PT Duta Cermat Mandiri)<\/b><\/p>\n
This is a textbook example of how to compose a school in the grand style – the style of Friedrich Froebel whose educational building blocks were Frank Lloyd Wright’s introduction to architecture…\u00a0Lego morphed with Snakes and Ladders; a fun place to be.<\/p>\n

Commendation \u2013 <\/i><\/b>Phoenix Valley Youth Palace & Grand Theatre by studio505<\/b><\/p>\n
The authors describe it as ‘a wilderness claimed by its inhabitants’ with the ‘geological innards of the mountain-like form’ housing a 1000 seat theatre. Here, the gelatinous luminosity of the ‘insect exoskeleton’ ceiling gives any show on stage a run for its money.<\/p>\n

Commendation \u2013 <\/i><\/b>Urban Suites by Kerry Hill Architects<\/b><\/p>\n
The master planning of the project is simple, yet clear and thoughtful, offering unambiguous arrangements for the \u2018private\/semi-closed\u2019 and the \u2018public\/open\u2019 spaces. The ground floor recreational facilities \u2013 the cosy, intimate and at the same time open communal spaces – provide excellent opportunities for social interactions for the residents who inevitably live in a vertically stacked manner.<\/p>\n

Commendation \u2013 <\/i><\/b>Asia Square by Denton Corker Marshall<\/b><\/p>\n
Asia Square brings conceptual and technical quality last seen in Singapore a generation ago to the new district of Marina Bay. The development is notable in its effort to overcome master-planned limitations in local circulation. A destination is created at level one, pulling the focus of city business away from Boat Quay and towards the \u2018Cube\u2019.<\/p>\n
