Sou Fujimoto Receives Marcus Prize

It's looking like 2013 is a very good year for Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. His Serpentine Gallery Pavilion is on display in London's Kensington Gardens until mid-October. Exhibitions in Japan, Switzerland, and elsewhere are documenting his growing and increasingly recognizable body of work. And it has been announced the he is the recipient of the 2013 Marcus Prize, given every two years to an emerging architect by Milwaukee's Marcus Corporation Foundation. The prize may not be as well known as the Pritzker Prize, but it carries the same purse: $100,000. As part of his prize, he will travel to Milwaukee a handful times over the course of a semester to work with graduate students in the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
