Architect is the first book to document what the Pritzker Prize laureates have said and written about their field, witha selection of their major built works, seen in more than 700 images.
Architect begins in 2010 and retraces the laureates back to the debut of the prize in 1979 showing their important built works including schools and libraries, museums, residences, shops, airports, courthouses, stadiums and hotels.
These architects, who collectively have shaped our built environment, talk about what matters to them - light, materials and sustainability, for example - as well as theirheroes and what buildings they admire - 35 Pritzker Prize laureates who speak directly to us about what they do and why. Along the way, they answer such questions as
What did the architect intend?
Why is a building a given shape, or made with certain materials?
What about the landscape, orthe constraints of a city?
What about us - how much are we, the public, considered when an architect begins to imagine a building?
