Jury Comments: Perhaps the only building we reviewed that wanted to recede into its context and pay homage to a greater presence – the Pavilion focuses the visitor on the matter at hand, the Darwin Martin Complex. The language represented in the design seems to respect and offer a tip-of-the-hat to many of the 20th Century’s great Architects, while the reflections in the almost invisible glass envelope redirect our attention back to FLW’s work.
