Yesterday, Lord Foster was announced as the 29th laureate to receive the prestigious Prince of Asturias award for the Arts, a recognition to scientific, technical, cultural, social and humanistic work carried out at an international level by individuals, institutions, groups of people or groups of institutions whose achievements are exemplary at an international level.
This is the second fourth time an architect receives this award, previously given to Oscar Niemeyer in 1989, Santiago Calatrava in 1999 and Franciscco Javier Sáenz de Oíza in 1993.

I don’t understand this.
Looks like these make-believe architects have finally found their make believe kingdom.
I thought Star Trek main role was held by William Shatner! What happened?
Calatrava was awarded also… if you considerer him as an architect you should quote it ;)
give him two at once… ;)
Well………good for him.
that is all.
is it me or does look more and more like pickard from star trek?
Awards are funny. Especially because they go to the same group of like 10 architects over and over again.
Hang on a minute… that’s a WHITE polo neck Stormin’ Norm’s wearing. I fail to believe his 364 black polo necks can all be in the wash. What’s up, Lord F?
