1 Birkhäuser Newsletter Birkhäuser Verlag AG Viaduktstrasse 42 CH Basel T F Newsletter Dear Colleagues, The Pritzker Prize, often referred to as the Nobel Prize for Architecture, was awarded to the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. In its citation the jury quotes Zumthor in his own words from the Birkhäuser publication Thinking Architecture : I believe that architecture today needs to reflect on the tasks and possibilities which are inherently its own. Architecture is not a vehicle or a symbol for things that do not belong to its essence. In a society that celebrates the inessential, architecture can put up a resistance, counteract the waste of forms and meanings, and speak in its own language. And this year s Mies van der Rohe Award for European architecture was awarded to Snøhetta for their Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, the first of the projects documented in our recently released Lars Müller monograph Snøhetta Works.
