The architecture and design world is a-buzz... the Pritzker Prize has been awarded, for the first time, to an Australian.
What he does have is a sincere and profound love for the earth that he imparts to his clients, his students, and his profession. Add to that, he's basically a one-man shop who actually answers his own phone (when he's not traveling the world teaching and lecturing or tending to his farm).ArchNewsNow profiles the 2002 Pritzker Prize Laureate and introduces his work and his way of thinking that permeates both his architecture and life.
