steel and incorporating natural landscapes into their work we met up with them in their office to hear more. ah the architects at our c.r. were both side themselves with joy when they found out they had won the pritzker prize. and the messages of congratulations have not stopped coming here. in washington even if we got a telegram from the spanish royal family one of our form graduation three he could put a few most perfect dream is come true a dream that we never even dreamt of dreaming of. our c.r. stands for. karma and ramon. the three have their office in a former foundry building in the small town of they work a lot in the region they designed this library in barcelona a modern steel and glass structure that merges well with the surroundings.

and a sports facility and surrounded by trees. they fill the void in the town. creating a space for locals it's with projects like these that they've made a name for themselves. center. stage only known for our smaller works. were not architects who work on a huge scale or for a wide audience and there are people for us. simply always ask ourselves what a building wants to be is thirty feet and how will people reeling in this space. when the student is to assist you. so it was quite a sensation to win the world's most prestigious architecture prize worth some ninety five thousand euros one that in the past has been awarded to star architects known for extremely famous buildings such as norman foster the british designer of

the or the swiss duo. who does. signed the olympic stadium in beijing and the helpful harm only in hamburg. or the late designer who was the first woman to be awarded the prize in two thousand and four. for their guests in their studies and of course it's a great honor for us to join the list of these award winners. but the prize comes with a lot of responsibility. because we know that most of the jury has placed us on a pedestal. and now we're getting a lot of attention going oh ok they're very very critical of him in. the attention is well deserved and not all their designs are local they designed the tsunami museum in rio de in southern france one of the region's architectural highlights and their design from the michelin starred restaurant les calls in is as much of

a magnet as the food and it is considered a pivotal piece of architecture they transformed a country house with the restaurant owners guests and personnel in mind. if you don't mind and see and they've changed the building completely they brought nature into that light the kitchen used to be a stall for animals it was dark we cook there for ten years without natural light we must go the number of years honestly will that without. the members of the jury were not only impressed by the design of the buildings they also honored the trio for their teamwork the three have worked democratically at the same desk for over thirty years they don't intend to stop now. but i meant them with a premium from the start we knew we just wanted to continue doing things the same way most of this is the way we won this valuable prize in the mentalistic of you know. when the whole you have bit of good know all and we won't change

much. is he in that they will just continue as we've been doing so far in this you know you see in the next to come you know what was he to start. there are several projects in the pipeline projects which pay attention to the local context but are bull with regard to form and materials architecture that excels from rule spain. going on now to a household name in kitchenware alessi the family owned company produces anything from kettles to cooking utensils now there are two thousand products to choose from but the current c.e.o. alberto alessi isn't as passionate about housewares we visit him at home to see what else inspires him. family home life surrounded by even yachts in northern italy.
