Acknowledging the award the group posted on Instagram. Spaces are made within bodies, within neck rotations — looking. In this process of space making we are also rewriting the bodies which live these spaces. The agency found within the bodies creates the possibility for a subversion of the structures of economic systems that sustain them.

The award aims to support emerging voices and innovative practices in architecture as a gesture of encouragement for the future.
