This Pritzker Prize winner shows where the field is headed. Works feels experiential, immersive, dreamlike yet always grounded

EXAMPLES

• Winery at VinaVik (VIK)- sweeping entrance of stone and shallow running water that elegantly cools the wine cellars buried below

• House for the poem of the right angle - Black concrete exterior that opens up into a warm cedar lined space organised around a central courtyard with skylights portruding at odd angles overhead

• Serpentine Pavillion in London is a semi-transluscent fiberglass shell that recreates fragile raw quality of a paper mache model at full architectural scale

Co-authors designs with materiality and site, burying structures beneath the landscape or resting it lightly ontop of it
