\u201cI receive the CDA\u2019s Lifetime Achievement Award as the highest honour, for there is nothing more sublime than the notion of true achievement,\u201d said de Portzamparc. \u201cFor an architect, achievement is the sum of buildings or neighbourhoods. Nothing is more beautiful than walking through what one has created and hearing the joy of those who inhabit or work within these spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEach project has marked a moment in time, a place, a space – each distinct, each unique in character,\u201d de Portzamparc added. \u201cThe work, the inspiration, the research was shared with a multitude of different actors, to all of whom I extend my heartfelt gratitude. All projects are driven by the same passion: beauty is inseparable from utility. Let us be careful not to remove the beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
