2013 Harry Tillie Award, jury report: In the trail of architect Pierre Cuypers – the jury rapport of the Harry Tillie Award makes special mention of the multidisciplinary expertise that is central for the practice of studio INAMATT. In reference to Cuypers, INAMATT has in-house expertise that ranges from engineering to pattern design and printwork. With influences of the natural land and the artistic world this leads to a gesammtkunstwerk reminiscent of the practice of Cuypers.
