Pritzker Prize 2010

The Pritzker Prize is Architecture's most distinguished award, inaugurated to honor "a living architect whose built work demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision and commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture." The 2010 prize has been awarded to Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners in the firm SANAA.

Their designs define a clean, modern, sustainable aesthetic. Throughout all their years of work together, the results have been harmonious and carry a fluidity few architects can claim.

This is only the second time The Pritzker has been awarded jointly. I think this instance serves to highlight the importance of professional, artistic collaboration and the many great things that result.
