Elizabeth Diller, Momoyo Kaijima, and Yoshiharu Tsukamoto are named as the Architecture laureates to the prestigious Wolf Prize

Three architects were among the group of laureates for this year’s Wolf Prize recognizing contributions to the world of science and culture from a variety of different fields.

DS+R co-founder Elizabeth Diller and Atelier Bow-Wow’s Momoyo Kaijima and Yoshiharu Tsukamoto were named to the prestigious annual accolade.

The 44-year-old prize is given out to “scientists and artists for their achievements in the interest of mankind and friendly relations amongst peoples.” Each laureate receives a $100,000 cash reward in addition to a special certificate that will be handed out in a ceremony at the Israeli Knesset in Jerusalem.  

The contingency joins past laureates Moshe Safdie, Peter Eisenman, and Phyllis Lambert as influential architects on the list of 345 total honorees.
