Brick was chosen for this building because it was a familiar, solid and secure natural material that allowed flexibility for innovation in the design. This is clearly seen in the prominent drum entrance, the grid patterning and the textured brick panels. Brick is also used internally as part of the loadbearing cross wall structure. The judges thought it bristled with interesting brick details and forms, and thought the confidence of the designers "shines through".
