In the unanimous opinion of the jury, the project from the team led by
Meinhard von Gerkan offered the best solution to the competition objectives
in proposing a clear and pragmatic urban strategy, and in creating a dynamic
tension between the restored modernity and the vestiges of the past.
The jury appreciated the general strategy of the project, the treatment
of the liaison between the main axis and the urban fabric, that of the secondary
axis - the river, and that of the planning of the new axis situated close
to the House of Parliament. The jury praised the sensitive balance created
between the two axes, the subtlety of the transition between Boulevard Unirii
and the House of Parliament, the quality of the urban structure recreated
through a series of blocks, the scale and flexibility of which permit a
wide variety of architectural "modénatures" and cityscapes
and its potential stage implementation.
