More bits and piece about the biggest design news story of the week, Jean Nouvel's winning of the Pritzker Prize. First comes Slate's architecture critic, Witold Rybczynski, asking why we award these Pritzkers to just this one guy when architecture, from concept to completion, is never about just one person, and rarely does it even involve just one company, it's a whole bunch of people acting together as a team in order to build something. But, his argument continues, unlike things like the Nobel Prize, which awards everyone involved in a process, the Pritzker ignores the more than a hundred people who work in Nouvel's firm.
