I agree with many when they find excessive use of word "wonderful", to describe all architects and projects.
Charles Jencks commented on Rem Koolhaas receiving the award:
'Rem Koolhaas, more than any other architect of his generation, has built a parallel life between the theory and practice of architecture. This double commitment was explicitly marked in 1999 as his twin studios, OMA and AMO, the Office of Metropolitan Architecture and the Architecture Media Organisation. The former treats practical building, while the latter concentrates on cultural issues that arise with architecture. As he mentioned, 'the separation of these Siamese twins enables us to liberate architectural thinking from architectural practice.' … Whatever the diagram, idea or formal invention, the theoretical part of Koolhaas keeps the constructive part on edge – vital, fascinating, maddening.'
