Who among the following is/are the recipient(s) of the Pritzker Architecture Prize till 2025?
Show Hint
- Liu Jiakun
- Santiago Calatrava
- B. V. Doshi
- Charles Correa
The Correct Option is A, C
Solution and Explanation
The Pritzker Architecture Prize is given each year to one living architect (occasionally a partnership) for a body of work that has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity through the art of architecture. It is often called architecture's equivalent of the Nobel Prize, and the list of laureates is fixed and published every year.
Step 2: Check each name against the laureate list.
Liu Jiakun is a Chinese architect who won the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2025, for work rooted in everyday materials and settings in China, so he is a genuine recipient.
Santiago Calatrava is a well known Spanish architect and structural engineer, famous for bridges and stations with expressive, bone like structural forms, but he has never been named a Pritzker laureate, so he does not belong on this list.
B. V. Doshi was an Indian architect who won the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2018, becoming the first Indian laureate, for a body of work that shaped Indian architecture and urbanism across six decades, so he is a genuine recipient.
Charles Correa was also a leading Indian architect, known for projects like Kanchanjunga Apartments and the Jawahar Kala Kendra, and he was often mentioned as deserving the prize, but he was never actually awarded it, so he does not belong on this list.
Step 3: Confirm against the option list.
Only Liu Jiakun and B. V. Doshi are confirmed Pritzker Architecture Prize laureates as of 2025. Santiago Calatrava and Charles Correa, however accomplished, are not on the laureate list.
Final Answer:
The recipients are Liu Jiakun and B. V. Doshi. \[ \boxed{\text{Liu Jiakun, B. V. Doshi}} \]
