In the words of juror Phil Nedin (Arup Associates), Lubor Trubka Associates encapsulated “the way to be going forward - a message about the importance of healthcare on a very local community services level”. For Claudia Bloom, also juror, Shenzen hospital hospital “pulls all aspects together in the clearest and most elegant architectural expression”.
