2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate Lecture

Abu Dhabi has been chosen as the host city for the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize – “in recent years, the UAE’s growing presence in the global arts and culture landscape, and openness in supporting the works of international architects provides a backdrop of newness, reflecting the diversity within our mission and the selection of our Laureates and Jurors,” said Tom Pritzker, director of the Pritzker Foundation. “As three iconic buildings, each designed by Pritzker Laureates, Jean Nouvel, Norman Foster and Frank Gehry, redefine the skyline of this city, Abu Dhabi lends a natural extension to our programme.”

This lecture by Liu Jiakun, 2025 Pritzker Prize Laureate, will have the title “On Land: A Model For Community”. It will be followed by a panel discussion including his three immediate predecessors: Riken Yamamoto, David Chipperfield, and Francis Kéré. “An informal reception will follow.” Should be good.
