Ten key projects by Pritzker Architecture Prize-winners Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal



Here are 10 key projects by French architect duo Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, who have been named this year's laureates of the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize.
Lacaton and Vassal met in the late 1970s at École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et de Paysage de Bordeaux, before establishing their Paris-based studio, Lacaton & Vassal, in 1987.
The architects are best known for their positive attitude to renovation, describing demolition as an "act of violence", as well as their numerous social housing projects across France.

According to the Pritzker Architecture Prize jury, these are the key factors that led them to be recognised in this year's award. "Not only have they defined an architectural approach that renews the legacy of modernism, but they have also proposed an adjusted definition of the very profession of architecture," the jury said.
Among the duo's key projects are the renovation of a 1960s housing block in Bordeaux and the adaptive reuse of a former shipbuilding workshop in Dunkirk.
Many of their projects incorporate polycarbonate-clad winter gardens and balconies to maximise usable space while ensuring optimal thermal comfort for occupants.
