The project makes use of vivid photographic renderings alongside simple diagrams and line drawings. Its ability to clearly and immediately communicate design intent is applauded. Its capacity on a single sheet to include both a global mapping as well as a carbon assessment for incorporated materials elevates the project beyond a simple conceptual scheme to a relevant technical proposal. It is recommended from a graphic perspective that the author make use of more varied line weights in the drawings and diagrams, however. As submitted the drawings do not have much visual variation and therefore lack hierarchy and lose force in their ability to convey information. In fact, many of the lines are so light that some of the information becomes lost on the white background of the presentation.

Jury feedback summary
Building Bridges is a MICROHOME planned for construction along a refugee migration route. ‘Bridges’ of connected cabins are created over time as multiple homes are built adjacent to one another. The project is aspirational in its ambition to function as a means for community building, in a space that is environmentally harsh, culturally mixed and transient. The proposed construction is a modular system of recycled materials fully transportable in a single truck.
