Pritzker Prize 2011 Poll

On the right side of this blog (and mirrored at the bottom of this post) I've inserted a poll for the 2011 Pritzker Architecture Prize, which should be awarded around the end of March (I'll leave the poll up as long as possible, yet as of writing this I don't the exact date of the award). Based on my own picks, past polls, and gossip at places like Archinect I've narrowed down the poll to twelve choices (plus "other"), in alphabetical order:

- Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio
- Peter Eisenman
- Steven Holl
- Bjarke Ingels

For reference, this year's jury is made up of:
- Lord Peter Palumbo (Chair)
- Alejandro Aravena
- Carlos Jimenez
- Glenn Murcutt

  4. hey john

    in this list, I'd vote for steven holl (ito and ban won't be winning just one year after sejima and nishizawa, will they ?).

    But when will we see cameron sinclair getting the pritzker ?

  5. Toyo Ito's award has long been overdue. I don't think he or Shigeru Ban will get it because of SANAA's victory last year, as mentioned in a previous comment. Souto de Moura and Calatrava would be my other favs but I feel the prize will now go to an American architect, most likely to Steven Holl. Btw, what about Libeskind?
