De Portzamparc's career spans more than four decades, with projects ranging from cultural landmarks such as the Cité de la Musique in Paris and the Philharmonie Luxembourg to international commissions including the LVMH Tower in New York, the Suzhou Cultural Center in China, and Beijing's China National Convention Center. Across these works, he has pursued what he describes as the 'open block,' a way of shaping cities that combines public and private spaces, while making sure everyday community life stays at the center.

The lengthy and costly award process often becomes a burden for independent designers or small studios, limiting their participation in prestigious awards.
