I'm happy to report that the Japanese duo of Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa have taken the 2010 Pritzker Prize.
The pair was given the Pritzker Prize by the Hyatt Foundation in Chicago. They will share the $100,000 prize, given annually since 1979 for “significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture.” Sejima and Nishizawa will be presented the award in a May 17 ceremony on Ellis Island in New York Harbor.
