JURY COMMENT
Rosemonde and Francis presented a compelling, thoughtful, sustainable design response for the cultural and sports centre in Ilkalutktutiak. The proposed design embodies many key principles of sustainable and regenerative design by carefully considering the local climatic conditions, the sensitivity of the permafrost landscape, and cultural ways of life. Ambitious and wonderfully executed, this project is a good example of the ideal design process as it balances many complex elements successfully.
