For the winning project,凡德法国 Grand Parc Bordeux, the Paris-based firm used their pioneering housing strategies to take cramped and dim apartments and open them up to light and air in order to improve the quality of life of those living there. Transforming three blocks of 530 homes, the architects added architectural features such as winter gardens and balconies. By relying on prefabricated elements and catalogue products such as sliding doors, they were able to intervene while keeping costs low, ensuring that no rent increases were necessary, and that residents could remain in their homes during the work.

Known for their delicate interventions, the duo have long championed the rehabilitation of post-war housing estates across France—an effort best encapsulated by their dictum: “Never demolish, never remove or replace, always add, transform, and reuse!"
两位主创规划师从来以精巧的计划出名 ，二人一向以来营建了多个法国战后住所改造项目。事务所的信条最能诠释他们的尽力——“绝不撤除 ，绝不搬迁或替换 ，总是增建 ，改造和再运用 ！”
The jury, chaired by Dorte Mandrup, commended the practice for this sensitivity and their ability to use minimum means to achieve a maximum effect. "The ensemble becomes an optimistic opportunity for social housing and modernity," they wrote, adding that "the architects [showed] a very high acknowledgement of who and what they are working with."
由Dorte Mandrup领衔的奖项评委会赞扬了事务所的规划敏感性和运用很少质料 、完成最优作用的才能 。评委会表明 ，“项目带来了社会住所和现代主义的活跃改变，规划师对改造目标和运用人群有着深入理解 。”
In addition, the European Commission and the Mies van der Rohe Foundation also announced the winner of the 2019 Emerging Architecture Prize. This year, the jury commended the Toulouse studio BAST for their extension of a small village school. The jury stated that they were drawn by the extremely precise implementation and design decisions which make the refectory a remarkable project. "The work was done with extreme humbleness," they added. 。
别的 ，密斯凡德罗基金会欧洲委员会发布了2019年出色年青修建师奖得主 。本年度该奖花落图卢兹BAST工作室 ，获奖项目是一所村庄校园的扩建规划。评委会表明，他们关于校园食堂的准确施行和规划决议计划形象深入 ，“项目表现出极度的朴素低沉 。”

In celebration of the Bauhaus' centennial year, the modern design firm Knoll collaborates with OMA to create an exhibition highlighting the school's history and evolution of modern design. Knoll's close ties to the iconic German school is in part related thanks to one of Knoll's founders, Florence Knoll. After her husband Hans Knoll passed away in 1955, Florence took over as the head of the company. For years following Knoll's aesthetic ethos was greatly influenced by Florence's design leadership and affiliation with pioneers at the famed Bauhaus school. 。
为留念包豪斯建立一百周年 ， Knoll现代规划公司同荷兰OMA修建事务所协作 ，共同完成了一次展览 ，要点展示学院前史和现代规划的演化进程 。Knoll同包豪斯学院的紧密联系部分是因为其创办人Florence Knoll。在其老公Hans Knoll于1955年逝世后 ，Florence接手了事务所的运作 。多年以来，Knoll的美学理念一向深受Florence的规划领导 、同包豪斯学院规划前驱的联系影响 。
