The aim of the project is to unleash the architectural potential of port industries. Working with the buildings unique and distinctive characters, we create spaces utilizing the silos’ potential in relation to material usage, space allocation and scale. We believe a transformation can increase the architectural quality of the port areas and demonstrate that there is poetry in industrial plants.

I juryens motivering lyder det: "Projektet er et forslag til transformation af Siloøen i Odense. Da det både miljømæssigt og økonomisk er mere fordelagtigt at transformere frem for at rive ned og bygge nyt, foreslår projektet tilføjelse af en række nye indgreb, der i nøje dialog med de eksisterende strukturer kan sikre, at bygningerne bevares, og at området integreres i den eksisterende by med forventet markant begrænsning af klimabelastningen. Mia Baltzer Nielsen og Vitus Karsten Bjerres afgangsprojekt er et arkitektonisk meget stærkt projekt, der kan medvirke til opnåelse af klimalovens reduktionsmål ved hjælp af bevaring af Siloøens eksisterende strukturer og styrkelse af de identitetsbærende karakterer."
