Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal Receive the 2021 Pritzker Architecture Prize

Copy
The 2021 Pritzker Architecture Prize, architecture’s highest honor, has been granted to Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, founders of Lacaton & Vassal, the French duo renowned for their multiple sustainable housing projects and for the Palais de Tokyo, a contemporary art gallery in Paris. In their three decades of work, Lacaton & Vassal always prioritized the “
enrichment of human life”, benefiting the individual and supporting the evolution of the city.
"Good architecture is open—open to life, open to enhance the freedom of anyone, where anyone can do what they need to do. It should not be demonstrative or imposing, but it must be something familiar, useful and beautiful, with the ability to quietly support the life that will take place within it." -- Anne Lacaton

Key projects by Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal

Lacaton and Vassal met in the late 1970s at École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et de Paysage de Bordeaux, before establishing their Paris-based studio, Lacaton & Vassal, in 1987.
The architects are best known for their positive attitude to renovation, describing demolition as an "act of violence", as well as their numerous social housing projects across France.

According to the Pritzker Architecture Prize jury, these are the key factors that led them to be recognised in this year's award.
"Not only have they defined an architectural approach that renews the legacy of modernism, but they have also proposed an adjusted definition of the very profession of architecture," the jury said.

Over more than 40 years, the pair has garnered recognition for their private and social housing projects, as well as cultural and academic institutions throughout Europe and West Africa. The firm’s portfolio reflects an emphasis on quality of life through open use and abundant space, often in urban environments. “Good architecture is open—open to life, open to enhance the freedom of anyone, where anyone can do what they need to do,” Lacaton says. “It should not be demonstrative or imposing, but it must be something familiar, useful, and beautiful, with the ability to quietly support the life that will take place within it.”
