The jury meeting for the international competition launched by Hua Yan Cultural Investment Company to plan China's MOLEWA township took place on 6 & 7 May 2015, in the city of Ruichang. The competition brief laid out requirements for the design of a series of prestigious commercial and cultural facilities and residential units having a strong architectural identity. Its goal was to create a township called MOLEWA - the Mount Lu Estate of World Architecture.
Former UIA vice-president Mauricio Rivero Borrell chaired the jury. Ms. Marianne Burkhalter (Switzerland) and Mr. Chun Gyu Shin (Korea) represented the International Union of Architects for the commercial and cultural category, while Ms. Jennifer Lee (United States) represented UIA for the residential category.
Following deliberations and a careful study of all the projects, the jury made the following declaration: "by unanimous vote, the jury felt that though the presented works included important proposals and interesting options for architectural solutions, none could be considered for first prize". Based on this appreciation, the jury selected four proposals for second prizes, six more for third prizes, and awarded seven honourable mentions.
