2009 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate has named Peter Zumthor, a Swiss architect as the winner. He will be awarded $100,000 grant and a bronze medallion during a formal ceremony in Buenos Aires, Argentina on May 209.

Pritzker Prize jury chairman, The Lord Palumbo elaborated with more of the citation: “Zumthor has a keen ability to create places that are much more than a single building. His architecture expresses respect for the primacy of the site, the legacy of a local culture and the invaluable lessons of architectural history.” He continued, “In Zumthor’s skillful hands , like those of the consummate craftsman, materials from cedar shingles to sandblasted glass are used in a way that celebrates their own unique qualities, all in the service of an architecture of permanence.”

اینم مطلبی که در نیویورک تایمز در مورد آقای پبتر زومدر  برنده پریتزیکر 2009 جالبه ...

He is not a celebrity architect, not one of the names that show up on shortlists for museums and concert hall projects or known beyond architecture circles. He hasn’t designed many buildings; the one he is best known for is a thermal spa in an Alpine commune. And he has toiled in relative obscurity for the last 30 years in a remote village in the Swiss mountains.
