Link Dump

I'm not often moved to com­pile col­lec­tions of links, but this morning's sift through the inbox dross has revealed a few gems. So, for you viewing/reading pleas­ure, here goes:

Por­tuguese designer Eduardo Souto de Moura has won this year's Pritzker Prize. Jury chair­man Lord Peter Palumbo said that over the course of a three-decade career de Moura “has pro­duced a body of work that is of our time but also car­ries echoes of archi­tec­tural traditions.”

The Amer­ican Insti­tute of Archi­tects has 'doled' out its annual hous­ing awards. If you think there is a typ­ical style of Amer­ican archi­tec­ture then think again. This is a var­ied line-up of high-end hous­ing, social hous­ing and senior liv­ing spaces.

Shi­geru Ban, here in New Zea­l­and last year as a guest of Auck­land University's School of Archi­tec­ture, is inter­viewed by the New York Times about tem­por­ary hous­ing in post-quake, post-tsunami Japan. He is typ­ic­ally mod­est, typ­ic­ally honest.

Design think­ing won't help you… oh go on, it might help you a little bit. Helen Wal­ters at Fast Com­pany.
