Thus, the design resulting a structures which made of two identical halves which reflect each other.

The following are some comments and quotes from the competition judges.

“What so impressed me with the Tina Manis Associates design was the absolute compliance to the brief we set, whilst still delivering a very forward-thinking design which pushed our chosen construction technique to its limit; this surely is the essence of real architectural prowess.” Jimmy MacDonald, Director, Tent London

“The shortlisted entries were all very strong and the decision was a tough one, but the Tina Manis Associates design stood out above the others for its elegance and versatility. The pavilion will work both as a great exhibition space and dynamic venue for events and is sympathetic to its destined waterside location. I’m looking forward very much to seeing it on display later in the year here in the capital during the London Design Festival.” David Barrie, Director, The Art Fund

“The winning entry is an elegant response to the canal side site and the brief; creating as it does, an original, unique pavilion form that promises to be a delight to experience.” Julia Barfield, Director, Marks Barfield Architects
