Kazuyo Sejima & Ryue Nishizawa 's firm SANAA (tokyo based firm) took home the Pritzker Prize for 2010 . Their projects include 'New Museum of Contemporary Art ' in New york city,glass pavilion of Toledo museum of art and Rolex learning centre in lausanne. Their works come across as simple , non flambuoyant yet successful in creating a mark. Lot of glass and fine detailing is characteristic. Simple yet strong forms like the use of rectangular boxes in the museum speak of self assuredness and experience inside the building rather than a flashy outide.
