"In my life, architecture is not necessarily a tool for fame or fortune, but is the guidance for me to touch the spiritual height and the depth of my soul."
"In a global context where architecture is struggling to find adequate responses to fast-evolving social and environmental challenges, Liu Jiakun has provided convincing answers that also celebrate the everyday lives of people."
The Pritzker Architecture Prize and the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi hosted Liu Jiakun, the 2025 Laureate, who presented his works intertwined with his personal and philosophical journey. Emphasizing architecture as a spiritual guide rather than a means to fame, Jiakun reflected on the dedication required in both architecture and literature. The event included a panel discussion with recent laureates who shared insights into user-centered design and the integration of justice and community integrity in architectural practice. The jury citation highlights Jiakun's transformative approach to addressing social and environmental issues through architecture.
