● 멋진 세상 속 프리츠커 건축상_ “지구상에서 가장 복합하고 중요한 문화 활동 중 하나가 바로 건축”, 역사와 자연을 존중하면서 도시환경을 포용하고 새로운 건축기술을 접목한 창의적 건축을 선보여 Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara Receive the 2020 Pritzker Architecture Prize
아일랜드에서 활동해온 여성건축가인 이본 파렐(Ivonne Farrell)과 셸리 맥나마라(Shelley McNamara)가 2020 프리츠커 건축상 수상자로 선정되었다. 1979년 프리츠커상이 만들어진 이후 2명의 여성건축가가 수상자로 선정된 것은 처음 있는 일이다. 프리츠커 건축상이 43회의 수상자를 내면서 수상한 여성 건축가는 2004년 자하하디드와 2010년 세지마 가즈요, 2017년 카르메 피겜을 손꼽을 정도로 특별하다.
하얏트재단 톰 프리츠커(Tom Pritzker) 회장은 “국제적인 최고의 명성을 얻고 있는 프리츠커 건축상에 이본 파렐과 셸리 맥나마라가 선정되었다”고 발표했다. 프리츠커 건축상 선정에 즈음해 이본 파렐은 “지구상에서 가장 복합하고 중요한 문화 활동 중 하나가 바로 건축이며, 엄청난 특권을 누리고 있는 건축가로서 이 상을 수상하는 것은 건축에 대한 우리의 믿음을 보증하는 것이다”고 밝혔다. 동료 건축가 맥나마라는 프리츠커 건축상 선정에 대해 “오랜 기간에 걸쳐 장소적 상황에 맞는 문화적 연결을 모색해 온 우리의 작업이 인정받게 되어 대단히 기쁘다”고 소감을 밝혔다.
아일랜드 더블린(UCD)의 건축대학원에서 만난 건축가 이본 파렐과 셸리 맥나마라는 1970년대 이후 건축가와 교육자로서 줄곧 활동해왔다. 1978년부터 그래프턴 아키텍츠를 공동으로 운영해온 두 건축가는 고국인 아일랜드를 비롯해 유럽과 남미 등지에 다채로운 작업을 선보였다. 2012년에 베니스비엔날레 건축전에서 은사자상을 받았으며, ‘자유공간’(Freespace) 주제로 치러진 2018 제16회 베니스비엔날레 국제건축전에서는 총감독으로 활동하기도 했다. 2020년에는 영국왕립건축가협회에서 로열 골드메달을 받았다. 그래프턴 아키텍츠는 노스 킹 스트리트 하우징(2000, 아일랜드)을 비롯해 아일랜드 도시연구소, 로레토 커뮤니티스쿨(2006, 아일랜드), 밀라노의 유니버시타 루이지 보코니(Milan, 2008), 리머릭대학교 의과대학(2012, 아일랜드), 페루 리마의 UTEC 대학 캠퍼스(2015) 등의 다양한 작업을 선보였다.
그래프턴 아키텍츠의 여러 프로젝트 중 페루 리마대학캠퍼스 유텍(UTEC, 2015)은 계곡과 고속도로, 주택가와 인접한 특별한 대지 특성을 감안하여 수직적 매스와 계단식 조합이 돋보이는 건물로 바다를 향해 열린 공간은 바람의 유입을 통해 에어컨의 필요성을 최소화한 것을 엿볼 수 있다. 페루 리마의 UTEC 대학 캠퍼스(2015) 작업을 통해 그래프턴 아키텍츠는 2016년 영국 왕립건축가협회(RIBA)로부터 제1회 RIBA 국제상을 수상하며 세계무대에 널리 알려졌다. 유니버시타 루이지 보코니(Milan, 2008) 프로젝트에서는 주변 도시 환경을 고려한 역동적인 매스와 내외부를 절묘하게 연결하는 개방감 있는 공간 구조를 전해주고 있다. 그래프턴 아키텍츠는 유니버시타 루이지 보코니(Milan, 2008) 작업을 통해 올해의 세계 건축상(World Building of the Yea)을 수상하기도 했다.
프리츠커 건축상 심사위원들은 “이들 두 건축가의 협업은 역사와 자연을 존중하면서 도시환경을 포용하고 새로운 건축기술을 접목한 창의적이면서 맥락성 있는 공간을 구현하고 있다”고 전했다. 역사와 장소에 대한 심도 깊은 분석과 이해력, 건축물의 품질을 높이려고 노력하는 책임감 있고 정직한 일관된 자세, 높은 문화적 탐구 정신과 섬세하면서도 균형 잡힌 에너지 넘치는 건축 언어 등을 높이 평가한 것이다. 아울러 심사위원회는 이들 두 건축가는 “베니스비엔날레에서 새로운 접근 방식과 서로의 믿음을 바탕으로 한 끈끈한 협력관계와 완벽성, 건축에 대한 계속적인 헌신과 책임감 있는 태도를 높이 평가한다”고 밝혔다. >>자료_ 하얏트재단, Copyright © 2020 The Hyatt Foundation / The Pritzker Architecture Prize, 기사 출처_ 데일리 에이앤뉴스 ANN(ANN NEWS CENTER) 제공

Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara of Dublin, Ireland, have been selected as the 2020 Pritzker Prize Laureates, announced Tom Pritzker, Chairman of The Hyatt Foundation, which sponsors the award that is known internationally as architecture’s highest honor.
“Architecture could be described as one of the most complex and important cultural activities on the planet,” remarks Farrell. “To be an architect is an enormous privilege. To win this prize is a wonderful endorsement of our belief in architecture. Thank you for this great honor.”
As architects and educators since the 1970s, Farrell and McNamara create spaces that are at once respectful and new, honoring history while demonstrating a mastery of the urban environment and craft of construction. Balancing strength and delicacy, and upholding a reverence of site-specific contexts, their academic, civic and cultural institutions, as well as housing developments, result in modern and impactful works that never repeat or imitate, but are decidedly of their own architectural voice.
“For their integrity in their approach to both their buildings, as well as the way they conduct their practice, their belief in collaboration, their generosity towards their colleagues, especially as evidenced in such events as the 2018 Venice Biennale, their unceasing commitment to excellence in architecture, their responsible attitude toward the environment, their ability to be cosmopolitan while embracing the uniqueness of each place in which they work, for all these reasons and more, Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara are awarded the 2020 Pritzker Architecture Prize,” states the 2020 Jury Citation, in part.
“Within the ethos of a practice such as ours, we have so often struggled to find space for the implementation of such values as humanism, craft, generosity, and cultural connection with each place and context within which we work. It is therefore extremely gratifying that this recognition is bestowed upon us and our practice and upon the body of work we have managed to produce over a long number of years,” says McNamara. “It is also a wonderful recognition of the ambition and vision of the clients who commissioned us and enabled us to bring our buildings to fruition.”
Their native Ireland, an island replete with mountains and cliffs, informs their acute sensitivities to geography, changing climates and nature in each of their sites. Their buildings consistently remain purposefully rich, yet modest, enhancing cities and lending to sustainability while responding to local needs. University Campus UTEC Lima (Lima, Peru 2015) is located on a challenging site with a highway sunk in a ravine on one side and a residential neighborhood on the other. The result is a vertical and cascading building responding to both site and climatic needs. Its open spaces were designed to deliberately welcome cooling breezes of the ocean and minimize the need for air-conditioning. At the Offices for the Department of Finance (Dublin, Ireland 2009), the selection of local limestone used in thick panels grants strength to the building. Windows recessed or flush with the façade have grills below them to circulate fresh air throughout the building. Exposures on all sides of the building, atypical of the architecture in this city, offer panoramic views.
The architects are continuously conscious of the dialogue between the internal and external, evidenced by the mingling of public and private spaces, and the meaningful selection and integrity of materials. “What we try to do in our work is to be aware of the various levels of citizenship and try to find an architecture that deals with overlap, that heightens your relationship to one another,” illustrates Farrell. Universita Luigi Bocconi (Milan, Italy 2008) fosters community between its occupants and the vibrant city that extends well beyond the vertical campus through its ground floor public space, which continues indoors, and its floating canopy that overlaps the ground below, engaging passersby with students. Université Toulouse 1 Capitole, School of Economics (Toulouse, France 2019) is encased in concrete and stone that has been quarried from nearby Lake Iseo. Its brick buttresses, ramps and courtyards are a metaphor for the city filled with bridges, walls, promenades and stone towers. North King Street Housing (Dublin, Ireland 2000) is intentionally void of external design elements to resonate with the restraint of the neighboring warehouses.
“The collaboration between Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara represents a veritable interconnectedness between equal counterparts,” states Pritzker. “They demonstrate incredible strength in their architecture, show deep relation to the local situation in all regards, establish different responses to each commission while maintaining the honesty of their work, and exceed the requirements of the field through responsibility and community.”
Farrell and McNamara have mastered proportion to maintain a human scale and achieve intimate environments within tall and vast buildings. “They have tried, with considerable success, to help us all overcome what is likely to evermore become a serious human problem,” explains Justice Stephen Breyer, Jury Chair. “Namely, how do we build housing and workplaces in a world with over half of its population dwelling in urban environments, and many of them who cannot afford luxury?” A contoured theater floor at the Solstice Arts Centre (Navan, Ireland 2008) creates a physical nearness between audience members and performers. The generous placement of open spaces, windows, glass curtain walls and exposed ceilings allows natural light to filter through a passage of
rooms, creating impressions of light through large and small spaces, and within the interlocking areas that compose Institut Mines Télécom in Palaiseau (Paris, France 2019).
McNamara states, “Architecture is a framework for human life. It anchors us and connects us to the world in a way which possibly no other space-making discipline can.” Farrell continues, “At the core of our practice is a real belief that architecture matters. It is a cultural spatial phenomenon that people invent.”
The pair established Grafton Architects in 1978 in Dublin, where they continue to practice and reside. In just over forty years, they have completed nearly as many projects, located in Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Peru.
Farrell and McNamara are the 47th and 48th Laureates of the Pritzker Prize, and the first two recipients from Ireland.
