Liu Jiakun, the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate, is celebrated for infusing Chengdu's architecture with socially responsible designs that enhance community well-being. His portfolio features a variety of subtle, transformative buildings that blend public and private spaces. Influenced by his diverse experiences, including a decade spent writing and painting, Liu returned to architecture with a vision to improve the quality of life through smart urban design. His notable project, the West Village urban complex, exemplifies his balance of density and livability, challenging traditional notions of urban spaces.
In a world that tends to create endless dull peripheries, Liu Jiakun has found a way to build places that merge infrastructure and public space seamlessly.
The jury commended Liu for creating high-quality buildings for the lives of ordinary people, addressing density and its impact on quality of life.
