Oliver Wainwright: “It is a fitting moment for a prize once reserved for flamboyant sculptors of icons to be awarded to a practice that would prefer you didn’t notice their presence at all. … In an age of demolishing public housing and replacing it with shiny new carbon-hungry developments in the name of ‘regeneration’, Lacaton & Vassal have worked tirelessly to expand and upgrade existing buildings with surgical precision, transforming the lives of thousands of people in the process.” – The Guardian
