Swiss Vectorworks User Gets Pritzker Architecture Prize COLUMBIA, MD,
May 5, 2009 - Nemetschek North America is pleased to announce that Swiss
Vectorworks user Peter Zumthor has been chosen as the 2009 Laureate of the
Pritzker Architecture Prize. Peter Zumthor has been a Vectorworks user since
2002.
The Pritzker Architecture Prize is awarded each year to a living architect
for significant achievement and was established by the Pritzker family of
Chicago through their Hyatt Foundation in 1979. Often referred to as
"architecture's Nobel" and "the profession's highest honor," it is granted
annually.

The award consists of $100,000 (US) and a bronze medallion. Traditionally, a
ceremony is held at an international, architecturally significant site. This
year, the ceremony will be held on May 29th, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where
Mr. Zumthor will receive his award.
In announcing the jury's choice, Thomas J. Pritzker, chairman of The Hyatt
Foundation, quoted from the jury citation, "Peter Zumthor is a master architect
admired by his colleagues around the world for work that is focused,
uncompromising, and exceptionally determined." And he added, "All of Peter
Zumthor's buildings have a strong, timeless presence. He has a rare talent of
combining clear and rigorous thought with a truly poetic dimension, resulting in
works that never cease to inspire."
