Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa won the Pritzker Prize this year. I posted my issues with their newest building earlier, and I'm not a fan of their other works.
Overworked, charmless, stereotypical bad modernism; the kind that turns the average ignoramus against progressive architecture
Overworked, charmless, stereotypical bad modernism; the kind that turns the average ignoramus against progressive architectureTheir buildings all seem to me as weird for the sake of it, not modern for the sake of progress or enlightenment. Their architecture does not conform to the natural surroundings nor challenge and/or respect the neighboring structures. They could be worse and admittedly are not all bad; but they are not worthy of any high recognition.
