"By the year 2020, which is after all only around the corner, there will be one billion people on this planet who have no roof over their heads. This is a very compelling and serious problem. I think that anything that the prize can do to raise the public awareness of this problem is worth doing. Because if we don't, who is going to." --Jury chair and architectural patron Peter Palumbo on the selection of the 2014 Pritzker Prize (Shigeru Ban received the Pritzker Prize in Amsterdam, June 14, 2014, Dezeen Magazine)

Paper Log House, Philippines | Shigeru Ban. More on the P.3 Blog!

"Shigeru Ban, born 1959 in Tokyo, Japan, is an internationally renowned architect, and was most recently named the 2014 recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the most prestigious prize in modernist architecture. Ban is best recognized for his groundbreaking architectural work with paper, and is the first architect to implement recycled cardboard tubing as housing infrastructure to quickly and efficiently shelter disaster victims.  According to Ban, paper is not only low-cost, but also extremely accessible. In 1990, when building relief housing in Turkey, he and his team were able to obtain the paper tubing for free. The recycled usage of paper instead of materials such as aluminum prevents theft and also conserves local trees, especially in refugee areas where resources are not as available. Ban’s minimal design ideology, which always incorporates the use of existing materials as well as a DIY approach, also allows for community participation in the creation of low-cost but effective shelters...."

Lucia Koch was born in 1966, in Porto Alegre, Brazil. She moved to São Paulo in 1992, where she lives and works today. Collective projects and collaborations, along with teaching, have been part of her life and work since the beginning. Koch thinks about space and people, provoking altered states of places, and travels to experience architecture. In her installations, Koch manipulates and transforms the viewer’s space and sense of scale with the use of such medias: filters, screens, videos, photographs, and light. She photographs small, empty boxes and bags that are then printed on a larger-than-life scale. The artist builds displays and exhibition spaces using surfaces as filters and filters as communication devices, while creating or transforming atmospheres with natural and unnatural light. 

Koch has been featured in many biennials including Sharjah, UAE (2013); Lyon, France (2011); Denver, USA (2010); Nagoya, Japan (2010); São Paulo, Brazil (2006); Gothenburg, Sweden (2005); Istanbul, Turkey (2003); and Pontevedra, Spain (2000). Recent group shows include: Cruzamentos, at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH (2014); Sense of Place, PIER 24, San Francisco, CA (2013); Projeto Travessias, Favela da Maré, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2012); When Lives Become Form, at the Yerba Buena Center for Arts, in San Francisco, CA (2009) and at the Tokyo Contemporary Art Museum, Japan (2008). Recent solo shows include: Cromoteísmo, at Capela do Morumbi, in São Paulo, Brazil (2012); Matemática Espontânea, at SESC Belenzinho, in São Paulo, Brazil (2011); and Casa Acesa, in La Casa Encendida, Madrid, Spain (2008).

Lucia Koch’s installation for Prospect.3 will be at the Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans (CACNO) from October 25, 2014 to January 25, 2015.

P3 Blog! An Interview with Jonathan Ferrara | July 2014

 “Guns in the Hands of Artists” A P.3+ Exhibition running in conjunction with Prospect.3  Opening October 2014!*

  “[New Orleans is] always the leader in murders, maybe we can take the lead in something else, which is possibly a solution–in a social activist way–to go against the grain of what we have here. It would be a nice thing for the city, the NOPD, and the exhibition, for it to be sent [elsewhere]…so there’s a continuum of this project, and to be able to say, this is what we did in New Orleans: we worked with schools, we worked with buy-back, and here’s the exhibition, you too could do this in your city…”
