Haven't seen much on this piece of news, though there was quite some hubbub when Thomas Mayne won it last year. (Could the Pritzker Prize site be any worse as a representation of a high design competition? I don't think it would take much to make a clean nice site.) This year's winner is Brazilian Paulo Mendes de Rocha, who's done a lot of work in Sao Paolo. I don't remember seeing anything that he's done when I was there. He's lauded for a humanist approach to concrete and steel - I would just love to see how that worked out. I can't tell from the photos at all - above.
