\u201cEmbodying the holy grail of each gallery custom-designed for its work, more or less infinite expandability, and a perfection of form and detail, it is at once extremely simple and delightfully complex.\u201d \u2014James Biber, principal, Biber Architects<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Seattle Public Library ushered in the new millennium with critical optimism, declaring that our society can produce civic architecture in an urban democratic setting without resorting to sentimentality, relying instead on raw materials, embedded technology, and a fluid sense of space to reflect the collective contemporary condition of the city.\u201d \u2014Vishaan Chakrabarti, founder, PAU<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI make this choice also in memory of Zaha Hadid. When I was a student at the AA [Architectural Association School of Architecture] in London in the 1980s, Zaha always advised me to follow what engineers were doing\u2014 rather than what other architects were doing\u2014 and I did exactly that for the year I spent in her unit. Her Phaeno Science Centre is a perfect example of this approach. In particular, the hollow programmed columns that she incorporated there were so original, and I haven\u2019t seen that being done by anyone else since.\u201d \u2014 Ben van Berkel, founder, UNStudio<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
