A Santiago-based Chilean architect known for buildings that look fragile, temporary or even unfinished, yet offer what the jury called quietly joyful shelter. He often balances great boulders on slender structures or wraps spaces in translucent membranes. His 2014 Serpentine Pavilion in London, a fibreglass shell resting on giant stones, made him internationally famous. He is the 55th Pritzker laureate and the second Chilean to win, after Alejandro Aravena in 2016.
