In this episode, we explore why Smiljan Radić has been awarded the 2026 Pritzker Prize and what his work reveals about the evolving values of contemporary architecture. Rooted in landscape, material, and imagination, his projects challenge conventional ideas of form, permanence, and authorship—offering a quieter, more introspective vision of the built environment.

We also open a critical debate: is Radić pointing toward a more meaningful and context-driven future for architecture, or does his work remain an outlier in a profession shaped by scale, economics, and global demand? A conversation on relevance, sustainability, and the power of restraint.
