IMCL Honor Award, Proposed Project - Urban Regeneration, ZEN

Jury's comment:

The documentation and urban analysis process to create this brilliant, biophilic, and ethically sound project is a model that can be used in almost any context. The thought given to the social aspects of this project is exemplary.

The network of streets and plazas, urban fabric, mixed use, scale, traditional architectural vocabulary all promise a project that will enhance the lives of a population group whose lives have been devoid of beauty. We desperately hope this project comes to fruition.
