Jury announced for 2017 Moriyama RAIC International Prize, begins tradition of including prize's prior winner
Liyuan Library by Li Xiaodong/Atelier, 2016's Moriyama RAIC International Prize winner. Li Xiaodong will serve on the 2017 Prize's jury.
The Prize celebrates a single work of architecture that is judged to be transformative within its societal context and reflects Moriyama's conviction that great architecture transforms society by promoting social justice and humanistic values of respect and inclusiveness. [...]
"the conversation about architecture in Canada needs to include what our peers are doing around the globe ... we wish to be there when the best architecture is discussed, wherever it might have been constructed."
