Architect. The Pritzker Prize Laureates in Their Own Words

For more than thirty years, the Pritzker Architecture Prize has been awarded annually to a living architect who has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture. This book presents all 33 recipients of the prize, and captures, in pictures and the recipients own words, the essence of each architect.
