The forthcoming pavilion at Queen Victoria Gardens is the first Australian project for the 1995 Pritzker laureate known for his work with concrete.

Heralded for his “subtle yet powerful, subdued yet elegant” work, the 52^nd Pritzker laureate is the first British architect to be awarded the prize since Richard Rogers in 2007.

This year's winners include the founders of former RECORD Vanguard firms WORKac and de Leon & Primmer Architecture Workshop.  

Led by Diamond Schmitt, Selldorf Architects, and Two Row Architect, the project will add at least 13 new galleries dedicated to modern and contemporary art spread across 40,000 square feet. 

The AIA-applauded move removes a major barrier on the road to licensure that disproportionately impacts women and candidates from diverse ethnic backgrounds.

The undercroft of Henry Bacon’s Neoclassical D.C. landmark will be converted into a new museum focused on the history of the memorial and its emblematic role in the civil rights movement. 

Ranking among the largest art museums in the U.S., the Edward Larrabee Barnes–designed DMA will be redesigned and expanded with a focus on accessibility and transparency. 

Although implementation will ultimately be decided by member boards, the agreement promises to be a money- and time-saver for eligible U.S. architects seeking work in the UK and vice versa. 

The Trump appointee accused of committing a slew of ethical transgressions was, uniquely, not an architect.
