Noted Architects Hans Hollein and Frederic Schwartz Are Dead
Hans Hollein, a maverick Austrian architect, teacher and designer, died April 24 following a long illness. He was 80.
Hollein's irreverent, art-minded designs for schools, shops and museums earned him the 1985 Pritzker Architecture Prize, widely regarded as the profession’s Nobel. His work established a framework for post-modern architecture, focused on wit, eclecticism and irony with historical references.
