To mark the 30th year of the award, this publication includes a historical overview of winning projects, seminars and events through the years. Each of the projects selected in this 10th cycle of the award is illustrated through detailed drawings, specially commissioned photographs and concise descriptions. An introductory essay by Homi K.
