Pritzker Prize 2021 awarded to Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal.

Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal have been announced as the winners of the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize for 2021. The French architecture duo have championed considerate, sustainable architecture since they set up their practice in Paris in 1987. It followed joint work in Niamey, Niger, where Vassal relocated for a period of time to practise urban planning.  

It was in Niger that they created their first built project together – a straw hut, constructed with locally sourced bush branches. Returning to Paris, they have since completed a slew of critically acclaimed work, such as Latapie House in Floirac (1993) and House in Cap Ferret (1998), both in France; and a wealth of multi-family housing schemes, in their home country and abroad, including two apartment buildings in Mulhouse (2005 and 2015).
