“The Nebuta House is designed to exhibit Nebuta art (huge paper creatures, warriors and demons) during the annual August festival. A screen of twelve metre tall steel ribbons encloses an outdoor walkway, intended as a threshold between the mythical world inside and the contemporary city outside. The judges felt that Nebuta House was a joyful and elegant response to the whole idea of display, with the restraint of the frozen wrap of the architecture a perfect foil to the exuberance of the Nebuta figures inside.”

The awards will be presented at the MIPIM AR Future Projects Awards 2010 Awards ceremony and dinner at Palm Beach Casino, Cannes.

The ribbon screen is shown in three sample colours. The final colour will be close in sheen and colour to the deep red of local lacquerware, similar to the ribbons on the right.
