The Jury's citation: "In giving an award to the Boulingrin Market Hall in Reims, the Jury wanted first of all to pay homage to the courage of the decision, more than twenty-five years ago, to save this exceptional example of 20th century commercial architecture and reinforced concrete construction. The complex and painstaking repair work has not only restored the primal energy of the design, but also reinstated its original market functions, bringing vibrant new life not only within Maigrot and Freyssinet's cavernous structure, but also throughout the surrounding neighbourhood."
