1st prize winner, jury comments: 

''An innovative idea that breaks the logic.'', Pedro Giestas, actor

''This proposal deserves the 1st place due to the new idea that proposes: Watter, light and the concept of in&out. Theatre is an old world and it needs new proposal to develop.'', Rafael Gonzalez del Castillo Sancho, arq.

''Twigs project proposes us a flexible and magic ambience to follow any narrative. It’s a sensitive and powerful solution able to create a proper environment for any story.'' Jorge Mealha, arq.

''The success of the design is based on its mechanism and functionality, further, the connection that create between the audience. For theatrical perfomances, the piles become both architectural element astonishing the audience and a very particular tool expanding to the wider distance. This is a very characteristic design approach that can be unforgettable for each performance. The other aspect of design is that the structure is very functional; flexible, light, changeable and transformative to go further, and all the construction strategies were well defined for design. The stage, piles, light, water and boats are becoming the main part of the architectural design, the theatre itself enhancing participation to the event and upgrading performances to another level.'', Berrin Chatzi Chousein, arq.

2nd prize winner: Lucie Chapuis, Léo Cadoret, Montpellier, France.

Jury comments: 

''Interesting concept in the relationship between the viewer and the scene'', Pedro Giestas, actor.

''This proposal deserves the 2st place due to the concept of an acuatic theatre. Furthermore it opens from a box into this magical bubble. The image is a full layout that shows the sections and icons in a transparet column, a well thought composition.'', Rafael Gonzalez del Castillo Sancho, arq.

''Bubbles is a smart, pragmatic and curious answer in order to obtain a small stage set, a focus point for Shakespeare narratives.'', Jorge Mealha, arq.

''Shakespeare’s Bubble presents an epic story about what the ultimate design can be at least. Even though it seems a little bit utopian story, the way you present your design is giving a real sense of place to the audience about how we will watch the performances. The construction techniques of bubbles and the stage behind that are well define. The most important thing in design approach is that the stage allows for maximum mobility through its structure. The narrative of design is very emblematic, strong, attracting, simple, and easy to grasp how will it work in every place. The mobility on the water is the key point in order to catch more audiences for performances.'', Berrin Chatzi Chousein, arq.

3rd prize winner: Diego Ramirez, Ksenia Dyusembaeva, Borislav Schalev, Barcelona, Spain.

Jury comments: 

''A very interesting design as well as the idea of bold mobility, a powerful concept of scenic space.'', Pedro Giestas, actor.

''From my point of view, african proposal doesn’t have to show what we know about this continetnt but to show new ideas that can fix in that clima, area or culture. Instead of proposing a giraffe without head, it could have been another modern idea. However, a walking scenario it has a good point of view to start.'' Rafael Gonzalez del Castillo Sancho, arq.

''A kind of surreal and idealistic perspective towards the way we perceive emotions trough Shakespeare contents.'', Jorge Mealha, arq.

''The ‘Imaginary Healer’ is a new characterization of theatre design in terms of mobility, usability and image for other places like Sub-saharan countries. Although it looks like an alien in the deserts the competitor defined, it becomes a good communicative tool through its skin and mechanism. The structure of design becomes the theatre itself regarding its animalistic show even if it presents nothing -it completely belongs to the deserts.The materials, textures and construction process are easily understandable in terms of fabrication techniques. Its presents will immediately attract audiences’ attention and increase participation, so this structure can only walk and display itself in everywhere.'' Berrin Chatzi Chousein, arq.
