Japanese Team Wins Pritzker Architecture Prize

Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners in the Japanese architectural firm Sanaa, have won the 2010 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the profession’s highest honor.

This is the third time in the prize’s history that two architects have been awarded the Pritzker. 


The first was in 1988 with Oscar Niemeyer of Brazil and Gordon Bunshaft; the second in 2001, with the Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron.


The award ceremony will be on May 17 on Ellis Island in New York.
