Wiebke Oppel
X
Winner of the category
Landscape Integration
For allowing architecture to belong to what was there before it.
The jury notedAs winner of Landscape Integration, Wiebke Oppel is recognised for an architectural outlook shaped by landscapes rather than imposed upon them. At X, her affection for Georgia, preference for green and interest in mycelium point to a practice attentive to both place and living matter. Her ambition to spread love gives that attention a generous purpose.
And also, winner of
Architecture of the Year
For buildings that will still make sense in a hundred years.
The jury notedFor a contribution of frankly unreasonable conviction, we were struck by a fascination with landscapes that comfortably predates its fashionability and a sensibility shaped somewhere between the studio and Georgia. The decision was quick, the applause assumed. Your remark, “Spreading love”, was read aloud more than once. The title is yours; the other nominees will simply have to recover.
