Pritzker Prize winners this year

French architects Anne Lacarton and Jean-Philippe Vassar.

In their project works,There are no magnificent buildings,

Some are just a series of seemingly “ordinary”,Sustainable residential projects.

They are concerned about the climate and ecological emergencies of this era And responded to social distress.

Especially in the field of urban housing.

Adhering to the concept of “Anything that can be saved will never be demolished”,strive to make existing buildings last longer.

They established an architect office in Paris in 1987.

And completed more than 30 projects in Europe and West Africa and other regions.And in most of the cases they completed.The same material can be found: polycarbonate sheet.

1. Why “single favor” polycarbonate sheet.

Most of the two architects took over are social housing or functional buildings. With the help of the sun room.

The living space is greatly increased at low cost, so that residents can save energy and get close to nature throughout the year.

The Ladapi House is their first application of greenhouse technology: a winter garden built with polycarbonate panels that can not only shade and block the rain, but also heat and transmit light, creates a larger living space with a moderate budget and integrates the indoor public space. Expanding from the living room to the kitchen makes the indoor climate easy to control.

2. What is polycarbonate sheet?

Polycarbonate sheet, referred to as PC sheet, includes hollow polycarbonate sheet, solid polycarbonate sheet, and polycarbonate corrugated tile. It is mainly made of polycarbonate polymer and processed by UV co-extrusion technology.

Polycarbonate sheet has the advantages of high light transmittance, high impact resistance, light weight, good sound insulation, strong weather resistance, good flame retardancy, and UV resistance. It is a high-tech, extremely excellent comprehensive performance, energy-saving and environmentally-friendly plastic sheet.

Compared with ordinary glass, the light transmittance of polycarbonate sheet can reach 98%, and the impact strength is 250-300 times that of ordinary glass.

UV coating and anti-condensation treatment make it integrate anti-uv, heat-insulation and anti-fog functions, which can block ultraviolet rays from passing through, protect valuable artworks and exhibits from damage by ultraviolet rays.

The specific gravity is only half that of the glass, and the light weight feature can save the cost of transportation, handling, installation and support frame.

The polycarbonate sheet meets the national standard of non-flammable B grade, has a high self-ignition point, and self-extinguishes after leaving the fire. It will not produce toxic gas during combustion and will not promote the spread of the fire.

The thickness of the polycarbonate sheet can be customized according to the project and local climate environment.

Various colors, customizable.

Polycarbonate sheets can reflect different transparency and differences in transparency, so that the sense of space, atmosphere, light effect and privacy can have corresponding formulas.

Polycarbonate panels are often used for exotic decorations in gardens and entertainment venues and corridors and pavilions in resting places; interior and exterior decoration of commercial buildings, curtain walls of modern urban buildings, etc.

In actual engineering, the cost of polycarbonate sheet is lower than that of glass, and it can solve the problem of energy consumption of large-area glass, which is also an important reason for its wide application.

In these past renovation projects, they added spacious winter gardens and balconies to the existing buildings, expanded the space with a prudent attitude, instead of demolishing and rebuilding, and realized freedom of use.

Therefore, it provides support for the residents’ real life.

They believe that “architecture is not just a building.” They solve practical problems; they practice their own initiatives, they create a responsible and sometimes painstaking path,

Just to prove that the best buildings can be humble.

The above is the project case of this year’s general award winner. Compared with most of the architects who have won the award before, their case looks slightly ordinary, and they did not use much superb skills. They just hope that people living in the building can use more space and more sunshine. And warmth, comfort, and social ecology are the reasons why they won the award.
