Jury statement:

The obviously young designer: Siyn Mao, has the greatest joy to create a book about a monster, a dinosaur. The Wüstenrot Foundation has renovated the enigmatic structure and documents it in this publication. The cover is so simple, but grandiosely designed, with two special colors. Pink and blue - actually just like the building itself, it needs no typography, no title. Only at the third or fourth glance does the supposed graphic become a read line. The foundation itself takes a very low profile, with a logo on N4. An invigorating mix of documentary and new photos, black and white and color, plans, interviews, drawings - all very complex, but visually coherently presented on 290 pages. Text, heavy and wide single-column, fits the theme. It is a great pleasure to experience this building - the publication succeeds brilliantly in this. (Wilhelm Opatz)
