"The Harvard University Graduate School of Design was pleased to make the seventh award of the Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design to Adriaan Geuze and his Rotterdam-based firm, West 8 urban design & landscape architecture. We honored the firm's Borneo Sporenburg project for its innovative approach to providing high-density, low-rise housing on twin peninsulas in Amsterdam-or in the words of jury chair Rodolfo Machado, for work of "incomparable urban beauty shimmering in Amsterdam's harbor."
