Big Win for Radić Clarke

Smiljan Radić Clarke just won the Pritzker Prize, and it’s about time. The award was handed out Thursday, with Chilean architect and prize chair Alejandro Aravena praising Radić Clarke’s work, saying it’s all about ‘radical originality’ that makes the weird seem obvious.

What’s the Big Deal?

Aravena thinks Radić Clarke’s stuff is the real deal, and who can blame him? The guy’s got skills. Just check out his buildings – they’re like nothing you’ve ever seen before. It’s not just about looks, though; Radić Clarke’s all about functionality too.
