ANGELES, CA (AP).- Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, a duo
of
Japanese architects praised for using everyday building materials to
create
ethereal structures that shelter flowing, dreamlike spaces, have won the
2010
Pritzker Architecture Prize, the prize’s jury announced Sunday. Sejima,
54, and
Nishizawa, 44, join Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas and Renzo Piano in

and designer-label fashion boutiques they have designed in Japan, the
United
States and Europe.
