El Túnel Legal
El Tunel Legal is a prototype of what the tunnel of the future should be like, namely: protecting, adapting, helping. Passing through such "tunnels", people embark on the path of legal entry into the United States, leading to a law-abiding and happy life. It’s time to make the asylum seekers’ usual path affordable and comfortable again!

The clear concept behind the project leads the design into an excellent output, apart from solving all the general issues, it provides a variety of well design spaces connected with a unique bridge structure.
It is a proposal of the highest quality with a totally direct link to the objectives of the contest. From the name to its development, it shows permanent conceptual clarity throughout the process. The project is detailed in an outstanding architectural way, is chromatically contextualized and is keen in understanding the human reality of refugees.
General Comments The competition poses a highly complex and difficult question. The restriction to use the bridge as project site narrows down the solutions to - in the best case- intelligent and technical design solutions. Because of that, many of the projects don’t reflect on the question of migration politics, social challenges, and the real problems beyond the architectural solution. To evaluate the projects, my priority was to look for a basic reflection on the migration situation and the related design challenge and a basic idea of the project related to this reflection. The further development of the project has to be coherent to this idea and the design outcome has to reflect somehow the values of the idea. The criteria of proper representation helps to understand the idea and the development. Not the best looking image is the winner, but the most coherent graphic language and argumentation line. The compliance of the room program, I don’t consider relevant in this stage of design, so all the projects have the same evaluation.
