3. The jury decided to divide the works into 3 categories due to the apparent differences of approach in relating to the competition. The categories decided by the jury are:
A. Pragmatic approach which suggests a concrete functional solution to Rabin Square. B. Conceptual approach which aims at a clear statement concerning an urban square in general and a 'peace forum' in particular.
C. Visionary approach which dwells on the symbolic, allegorical, poetic and utopian aspects of commemoration and hope for peace .
