„Sweden has the best public library when it comes to architecture, interior design, the use of new digital technology, and engaging the participation of local citizens in its activities…..The panel of judges concluded that the Kista Public Library, which was designed by Wester + elsner Architects and built in a shopping centre in central Stockholm, is a sustainable project “in which the architecture is playful without being locked into a particular age group. The architectural solutions provide extreme flexibility, and new functions can easily be incorporated to meet the future needs of users.”

Nominiert waren fünf Bibliotheken aus Spanien, Kenia, Australien, Neuseeland und Schweden. Das Preisgeld beträgt 5.000 US-Dollar.
