Kevin Roche (1922-2019) was a Irish-born American architect. He won the Pritzker Prize in 1982. He studied at Universty College Dublin and subsequently with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe then became the principal designer for Eero Saarinen. In 1967 he started his own firm.
“In this mercurial age, when our fashions swing overnight from the severe to the ornate, from contempt for the past to nostalgia for imagined times that never were, Kevin Roche’s formidable body of work sometimes intersects fashion, sometimes lags fashion, and more often makes fashion. He is no easy man to describe: an innovator who does not worship innovation for itself, a professional unconcerned with trends, a quiet humble man who conceives and executes great works, a generous man of strictest standards for his own work. In this award to Kevin Roche we recognize and honor an architect who persists in being an individual, and has for all of us, through his work and his person, made a difference for the better.” – Pritzker Prize Jury Citation 1982
