The briliant Shigeru Ban wins the 2014 Pritzker Architecture Prize

In a decision already inflaming debate across various media, the Pritzker Architecture Prize for 2014 has been awarded to Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. Coming soon after recent statements from certain architects elevating themselves and their work above such prosaic concerns as social responsibility and engagement, this can perhaps be seen as the Pritzker panel looking beyond such dazzling hubris and toward a more appetizing practice. I remember Shigeru Ban delivering one of the most inspired and inspiring lectures I've ever attended in London several years ago. Over two hours he explored what seemed like a lifetime of ingenious material innovations, passionate conviction  and rigorously deployed ideals. Toward the end of the lecture it became apparent he had been detailing, not his life's work, but simply the activities of the previous twelve months.
