[HIGHLIGHTS] The Japanese architect, exiled in his country

The Japanese architect, exiled in his country. Excluded from major projects, architects found refuge in private and foreign commissions.

On March 5, the Japanese Riken Yamamoto won the Pritzker, the highest distinction in the discipline. He is the eighth from his country to have received this honor, making the Archipelago the beacon of the discipline (since 1979, the United States has obtained six, France three…). Everywhere, in tune, we celebrate the Japanese “starchitects”.
