Radical Pedagogies: "The project illustrates how Italian Architectural thinking was disseminated and impacted in different parts of the world. It highlights the emergence of new poles of architectural thinking in the current world and makes these accessible as a living archive."

Intermundia: "Echoing the ongoing tragedy of Lampedusa, the project evokes, with new documentation and through an immersive experience (inside the box in the photo above), the reality of migration and border-crossing from the South to the North as a defining element of today's European societies."

Italian Limes: "The project deals with the question of borders in the European context. By showing how climate change and new technologies impact on territorial delimitation in the North of Italy, it demonstrates how intra-European borders move, revealing tensions between self-protection and free-circulation."

Special mention to Canada "for its in-depth study of how modernity adapts to a unique climatic condition and a local minority culture."

Special mention to France "for addressing the successes and the traumas embedded in its utopian visions of modernity."

Special mention to Russia "for showcasing the contemporary language of commercialization of architecture."
