Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal
Architect honour
The 2021 Pritzker Architecture Prize recipient record names Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal. Jean-Philippe Vassal studied architecture in Bordeaux and then worked in urban planning in Niger, where Anne Lacaton often visited him. The official biography connects those experiences with an appreciation of ingenuity under limited resources. Their early hut project in Niamey preceded a shared commitment to improving what already exists.
