The Pritzker Architecture Prize 2008
And the Pritzker goes to… (drum roll) … Jean Nouvel. Although most of his work is in Europe, especially in France, his projects are all over the world, including Japan, Korean, Brazil, Qatar, Lebanon, Morocco, Kuwait, US… You can find Jean Nouvel’s project list here. The formal ceremony will be held on June 2 in Washington D.C. at the Library of Congress.
In Nouvel’s own words, “My interest has always been in an architecture which reflects the modernity of our epoch as opposed to the rethinking of historical references. My work deals with what is happening now – our techniques and material, what we are capable of doing today,�?
