A photograph taken on March 16, 2021, in Bordeaux, shows a view of the social housing complex “Grand Parc” built in the 1960s and which 530 dwellings were rehabilitated between 2014 and 2017 by the Lacaton and Vassal architect agencies. The Pritzker Prize — architecture’s most prestigious award — was awarded on March 16, to French duo Jean-Philippe Vassal and Anne Lacaton for their affordable, eco-friendly spaces that prioritize the well-being of the many.
