TAMPERE, Finland--()--The winner of the competition is the pseudonym Lakes & Roses. The jury praised its excellent overall approach to the urban and landscape architecture, and the clarity of the cityscape. The revealed author of the entry is Architecturestudio NOAN from Tampere, Finland.

The winning entry provides excellent preconditions for expanding the city centre of Tampere, located between two waterbodies, to the south. The entry enables developing city centre -like housing blocks and a continuous urban park zone by Lake Pyhäjärvi for all residents”, says the chair of the jury Deputy Mayor Jaakko Stenhäll.

The international member of the jury, Architect Helle Juul from Copenhagen, was satisfied with the number and high quality of the entries submitted to the competition.
