Today's News

Architecturally, there's only one really big bit of news today. In a rather unexpected announcement, Brazilian Paulo Mendes da Rocha has been named the 2006 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate. The Pritzker media kit and a photo booklet of the architect's work are available in PDF format.



I'm a big fan of the relatively unknown (before today, at least) architect who I've featured twice on my weekly page:

:: Brazilian Museum of Sculpture
:: Square of the Patriarch

Congratulations Paulo!
