The winner of the 46th Pritzker Architecture Prize was announced on Tuesday: Arata Isozaki, an architect, urban designer and theorist. The Pritzker Prize is frequently called the Nobel of architecture. The prize consists of $100,000 and a bronze medallion. Many in the field see the Pritzker not only as a validation of an individual’s work but also as a validation of the profession. “People rarely think about architecture as an art or architecture as creative expression,” said Deborah Berke, the dean of the Yale School of Architecture.
