This week on Dezeen, architects Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara became the fourth and fifth women to ever win the prestigious Pritzker Prize.
On Tuesday, the Irish duo and founders of Grafton Architects were named as this year's laureates for the life-time achievement award, which has been given annually since 1979.
