Record News: Jean Nouvel wins 2008 Pritzker Prize

摘要

Jean Nouvel has talked of creating buildings that he hopes will disappear into their surroundings, defy easy characterization, and become dated. And yet, with The Hyatt Foundation's announcement on March 31 that this 62-year-old Frenchman is the 30th laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the profession's highest honor, Nouvel's oeuvre is certain to invite close study by many generations to come. In fact, contrary to the architect's own desire, his buildings already stand out.
