The American Academy of Arts and Letters<\/a>‘ prestigious Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize<\/a> goes to Japanese architect Junya Ishigami<\/a> this year. The annual prize awards US$20,000 to an architect of any nationality who has made a significant contribution to architecture as an art.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ishigami, who worked with Kazuyo Sejima<\/a> at SANAA<\/a> before branching out with his own practice junya.ishigami+associates<\/a> in 2004, is known for his brand of Japanese minimalism that takes inspiration from its natural surroundings, notably the 2019 Serpentine Pavilion<\/a> in London, KAIT Plaza in Atsugi, Japan, the Glass Pavilion in Park Groot Vijversburg, the Netherlands, and the cave-like ‘excavated’ restaurant & residence<\/a> in Ube, Japan.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other Brunner Prize winners in recent years were\u00a0Farshid Moussavi<\/a>, SelgasCano<\/a>, W. G. Clark<\/a>, Carme Pin\u00f3s<\/a>, Eduardo Souto de Moura<\/a>, Francis K\u00e9r\u00e9<\/a>, and this year’s Pritzker winner<\/a> Smiljan Radic<\/a>.<\/p>\n
