Pritzker Prize Poll 2013

The <a href="http://www.pritzkerprize.com/">Pritzker Architecture Prize website</a> is indicating that the announcement of the 2013 recipient will happen on Sunday, March 17. <br /><br /><img alt="pritzker2013.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/pritzker2013.jpg" title="Screenshot of Pritzker Prize website" /><br /><br />So with 10 days until the announcement, who do you think should win the Pritzker? I've set up a poll in the left column (mirrored at the bottom of this post) to see how well this blog's readers know their stuff. I've narrowed it down to 15 candidates, but if you disagree with my choices vote "other" and please comment on this post with your pick; last year's winner has shown that the prize doesn't always go to the usual names. Check back here on the 17th to see who won—both the real Pritzker and this poll.<br /><br />For reference, <a href="http://www.pritzkerprize.com/about/jury_bios.html">the Pritzker Prize jury</a> is made up of:<br /><blockquote>- Lord Peter Palumbo (Chair)<br />- Alejandro Aravena<br />- Stephen Breyer<br />- Yung Ho Chang<br />- Glenn Murcutt<br />- Juhani Pallasmaa<br />- Martha Thorne (Executive Director)</blockquote>And here is the list of past winners:<br /><blockquote>1979 - Philip Johnson of the United States<br />1980 - Luis Barragán of Mexico<br />1981 - James Stirling of Great Britain<br />1982 - Kevin Roche of the United States<br />1983 - Ieoh Ming Pei of the United States<br />1984 - Richard Meier of the United States<br />1985 - Hans Hollein of Austria<br />1986 - Gottfried Boehm of Germany<br />1987 - Kenzo Tange of Japan<br />1988 - Gordon Bunshaft of the United States / Oscar Niemeyer of Brazil<br />1989 - Frank O.
