pritzker, plz.

here's an interview with the ladies from harvard that created the online petition for denise scott brown's retroactive prizker prize.

Did you get Denise Scott Brown’s blessing to do this? Or you did you do it, and then talk to her after?

Assouline-Lichten: It was very impulsive. I just launched it. I didn’t even think that it’d maybe be a problem. [Laughs.] We actually had a bit of trouble getting in touch with Denise. It took us five days or so.

It was launched on a Wednesday, and then, finally, on Monday I spoke to her on the phone. She was delighted. At that point, there were about 500 signatures. She had been up until 2 a.m. the night before reading the comments on the petition. She was sweet and just so happy to have some recognition. Even if it’s not the Pritzker, it’s a sign that that the public loves you and appreciates your work. That’s very touching for her. She’s super happy about this whole thing. (via)

the most interesting part is that the GSD cafeteria is called the "chauhaus". nerd alert.
