Rem Koolhaas has been named the winner of the Jencks Award for
2012. Given annually to an individual (or practice) that has
recently made a major contribution internationally to both the
theory and practice of architecture, the Jencks Award will be
presented on Tuesday 20 November at the Royal Institute of British
Architects (RIBA) in London. The event will feature a public
lecture by Koolhaas, chaired by Charles Jencks, architectural
theorist. Jencks commented: "Rem Koolhaas, more than any
other architect of his generation, has built a parallel life
between the theory and practice of architecture." Previous winners
of the Jencks Award include Zaha Hadid, Foreign Office Architects,
Peter Eisenman, Cecil Balmond and Steven Holl.
