"The jury highlighted his 'unorthodox approach to design,' which 'may initially appear unusual, unexpected, even rebellious; yet, far from producing alienation or estrangement, his anti-canonical stance feels fresh and unprecedented.'"
"The keynote speaker will reflect on travel as a formative and ongoing dimension of architectural practice, elaborating that architecture is shaped not only by formal knowledge but also by the accumulation of lived experiences."
"When I travel, I don't collect photographs. Rather, I collect moments that at the time may appear incidental, difficult to explain, or even seemingly ordinary. Yet, these references stay with me, acquiring distinct meaning through attention and accumulating into a kind of knowledge."
Smiljan Radić Clarke was awarded the 2026 Pritzker Architecture Prize for his unique design approach. The jury praised his work as fresh and unprecedented. A lecture and panel discussion will take place in Mexico City on May 12, 2026, themed 'Architecture: Distraction and Knowledge.' Radić will discuss how travel influences architectural practice, emphasizing that architecture is shaped by lived experiences. He believes understanding architecture emerges from personal observation and reflection. Following the lecture, Radić will engage with other laureates about their career challenges and successes.
