  1. This year's Pritzker Prize has been awarded to #Riken #Yamamoto, a Beijing-born architect who shortly after World War II established himself in Yokohama, Japan where he would develop a profound interest in #architecture and how it could shape the lives of individuals and society.
    The architecture of Yamamoto has a distinct central focus:
    his undeniable interest in building community.
    His built works, located throughout Japan, China, the Republic of Korea, and Switzerland, range from private residences to large-scale housing complexes, educational institutions, and civic spaces, all of which reflect the intent of 🔸blurring the boundaries between the public and private spheres 🔸while opening up connecting spaces that 🔹foster social interaction 🔹and opportunities for both building users and the community nearby.
