“Jürg Conzett and Gianfranco Bronzini are much more than the engineers of many of Switzerland’s most beautiful bridges. Their holistic approach to design is instrumental in many works where the structure entirely defines the architecture. This universal attitude, linked to a sustainable vision for each project, is reflected in their capacity for innovation, whatever the material they are using. By choosing Conzett and Bronzini as laureates in the architecture category, the jury wishes to highlight the importance of the engineer’s art for the Baukultur.”
