Prof. mag. Boštjan Vuga, President of The Architect Jože Plečnik Foundation, emphasised at the award ceremony that "the Foundation awards the works that connect artistic imagination with contemporary social, political, economic, technological and environmental developments, and which prove that their author is not only an active creator of space, but of society as a whole. It also continues the tradition of widening the field of action of architects. The artists work in original, multidisciplinary teams, and the prizes are awarded to works that represent the re-use of spaces, works that are temporary and unfinished."

This year's winners are also featured in a documentary by director Dominik Mence and director of photography Rok Kajzer Nagode (video with English subtitles):
