Paulo Mendes. New Pritzker Prize

Brazilian architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha has been awarded the 2006 Pritzker Architectural Prize. After Oscar Niemeyer’s recognition in 1988, the 77 year old is the second Brazilian to be honored with this prestigious award.

His work includes the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture built in 1988 as well as numerous current works abroad such as a social housing block in Madrid, Spain, and a series of buildings for the University of Vigo, also in Spain.
