Liu Jiakun, founder of Jiakun Architects, was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize, celebrating his profound impact on contemporary architecture through innovation, sustainability, and cultural dialogue. Based in Chengdu, China, his designs harmonize tradition with modernity and individualism with collectivism, focusing on the human experience. The Pritzker Prize recognizes architects whose work significantly influences the built environment, and Liu joins a prestigious group of past laureates. His design philosophy emphasizes community integration and contextual adaptation, providing new perspectives in an era of rapid urbanization.
Architecture should reveal something-it should abstract, distill and make visible the inherent qualities of local people.
Through an outstanding body of work of deep coherence and constant quality, Liu Jiakun imagines and constructs new worlds, free from any aesthetic or stylistic constraint.
