Explore 594 illustrated award cases: actual buildings and architectural honours, with the programme, year and official evidence stated separately.
Built-project awards and career honours recognise different subjects. Award year, building completion and photography date are distinct; a personal honour does not transfer to every building by its recipient. Photographs open at a larger size with creator and licence references.
The 2009 Pritzker Architecture Prize recipient record names Peter Zumthor. Zumthor trained as a cabinetmaker before studying design and working in building conservation in Graubünden. He established his own practice in Haldenstein in 1979. This background in craft and existing buildings informs his carefully developed architectural work.
