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.

Architect and curator Sean Anderson remembers the Pritzker Prize–winning giant of Indian Modernism, who died this week at the age of 95.

In a long, global career, the post-war Japanese architect designed buildings that expressed an unorthodox modernism.

In an exclusive interview with Martin C. Pedersen, Breyer, the retiring Supreme Court justice and a juror for the Pritzker Prize in architecture, talks about what matters in design.

The pair are lauded for their "radical delicacy," and balancing a respectful and straightforward approach to the people who inhabit their spaces and the built environment.

Manuela Lucá-Dazio will also be an advisor and the Prize’s next executive director.
