Faithful to a radical way of understanding the profession, the winners of the last edition of the Pritzker Prize have spent three decades developing a committed architecture that has managed to translate the social and environmental concerns of our time into a concise but powerful language. On the occasion of the prestigious award, the Arquitectura Viva publishing house presents Lacaton & Vassal. 1991-2021, a 176-page Spanish-English bilingual volume, cloth-bound and hardcover, which brings together some thirty of the most outstanding works and projects of the French studio. Four articles —signed by Luis Fernández-Galiano, François Chaslin, Richard Scoffier and Enrique Sobejano respectively— complement this selection and allow us to contemplate contained architecture from different perspectives, always at the service of people, which has led Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal to achieve the highest recognition of the profession.
