At a second jury meeting, these are toured and finally the prize-winning project is selected.

The announcement of the winner, the award ceremony and the opening of an exhibition on the buildings always take place at the end of January at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt am Main[...].

The buildings are also presented in a handy print edition in the Architectural Guide to Germany." excerpt from the website of DAM.

Actually during the construction phase, the hall gives the impression of a friendly, open building that will soon motivate students and hobby athletes to exercise.
