"View Slideshow\n\nYesterday the Pritzker Architecture Prize was awarded to Japanese architect Toyo Ito. A seven-person jury, including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, selected Ito for the annual award, making him the sixth Japanese architect to receive what is considered the field's highest honor.\n\nThe architect\u2014whose work ranges in scope from a university library to a funeral hall to the Tod's flagship in Tokyo\u2014was praised by the jury for his focus on innovation as well as social responsibility. Following the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Ito led other Japanese architects to develop \"Home-for-All,\" communal spaces for survivors living in temporary relief housing. The project was awarded the Golden Lion at the 2012 Venice Biennale.\n\nThe Pritzker, which includes $100,000 and a bronze medallion, will be presented on May 29 at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.\n\nClick here to see a selection of Ito's award-winning work."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
