Thijs van Bijsterveldt
Shift architecture urbanism
Winner of the category
Creative Range
For bringing unlikely references into alignment without diminishing the force of either.
The jury notedAs winner of Creative Range, Thijs Van Bijsterveldt is recognised for an architectural sensibility broad enough to hold RAL 7044 and peacock feathers in productive tension. At Shift architecture urbanism, this openness extends from the quiet appeal of Swedish lakes to the expressive confidence of skirts, with Dolly Parton serving as an unusually exacting reference point. The result is range without diffusion.
