    – are able to mobilise multifaceted expertise;
    – possess the necessary knowledge and ambition to design a world-class building complex;
    – unify innovative perceptions and have respect for traditions; and
    – possess expertise that spans over all phases of the architectural design.

    The main indicators of the design brief:
