"But Zaha Hadid is also an awful choice for the Pritzker. She is well known for her inability to translate her ideas into realistic projects, let alone finished buildings--of which she has a mere six to her name. And her recognition comes at a time when a host of more deserving architects stand in the wings for the award--architects who have built far more but are far less beloved by the avant-garde. Her selection, no doubt influenced by her distinction as the most prominent woman in a field dominated by men, represents a fatal debasement of an award purportedly about rewarding excellence, not political correctness or trendiness. Worst of all, it threatens to further widen the rift between ideas and practice that is slowly undermining architecture's ability to contribute to society."
