"First were the thick stone walls, the arches, then the domes and vaults - of the architect, searching out for wider spaces."
"Now it is concrete-reinforced that gives our imagination flight with its soaring spans and uncommon cantilevers. Concrete, to which architecture is integrated, through which it is able to discard the foregone conclusions of rationalism, with its monotony and repetitious solutions."
- from Oscar Neimeyer's acceptance speech, Pritzker Architecture Prize
Gordon Bunshaft and Oscar Niemeyer
Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureates, 1988
