Is this the end of the Pritzker Architecture Prize?

The Dezeen Weekly podcast addresses pressing issues in architecture and design, beginning with the delay of the Pritzker Architecture Prize due to patron Tom Pritzker's links to Jeffrey Epstein. The hosts discuss the implications of Pritzker's continued role in the Hyatt Foundation and the potential impact on the prize's reputation, including the possibility of the laureate rejecting the award. The podcast then shifts to a legal battle involving Zaha Hadid Architects and the Zaha Hadid Foundation over the use of Hadid's name, focusing on the financial implications for the firm. Finally, the podcast examines the impact of escalating Middle East conflict on architecture, highlighting the damage to Dubai's Burj Al Arab and potential consequences for international architecture studios reliant on Middle Eastern projects.
