On March 4th, 2025, the Pritzker Prize was given to 68-year-old Liu Jiakun. The prize, which was set up in 1979, is architecture's(建筑的) highest prize. Liu is the fifty-fourth winner of this award. 1 Before him, Wang Shu won the award in 2012.
Liu is famous for designing public spaces in cities. He always creates places for people to gather and enjoy nature. 2 This five-floor building was built in 2015. It features(以……为特色) paths for walking and biking. Inside, there are spaces for culture, sports and business. It also offers a beautiful view of local natural and man-made environments.
