SANAA Ryue Nishizawa and Kazuyo Sejima, Photo by Takashi Okamoto, Courtesy of SANAA By Lise Laurberg Based in Tokyo, SANAA designs highly aesthetic and experimental buildings in Japan, Europe and USA. SANAA was founded in 1995 by Kazuyo Sejima (born 1956), and Ryue Nishizawa (born 1966), a former employee at Kazuyo Sejima and Associates. SANAAs work includes a large number of successful public buildings, such as the New Museum and the Rolex Learning Center, but the architects also experiment with housing designs to shape and change our daily life, especially in their individual practices (see for example Moriyama House). In spite of their whiteness, the buildings of SANAA are very far from modernist architecture, as the architects continue to incorporate elements of doubt and ambiguity into their works. SANAA is often said to work with a 'fourth dimension' in their design of space. In 2010, SANAA was awarded the highest honor in architecture, the Pritzker Prize. Visit the website of SANAA
