Editorial: Moriyama RAIC International Prize Winner Li Xiaodong

Architect Li Xiaodong has won the $100,000 award—one of the largest architectural prizes in the world—for a project that cost a little under twice that amount to construct.

Completed in 1963 by Raymond Moriyama, the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre in Toronto was renovated into the Noor Cultural Centre in 2003 by Moriyama & Teshima. In both incarnations, the building embodies principles of cultural inclusivity that Raymond Moriyama hopes to promote through the newly established Moriyama RAIC International Prize.
