His work is different to that of other architects as his ‘signature’ material is cardboard tubes, which he uses in a range of sizes. He has built himself a high status by making structures which should not really work with the materials he is using, therefore his work is unexpected and grabs a lot of attention. His voluntary work and other large projects, such as building the new temporary cathedral in Christ Church, have earned him the 2014 Pritzker Prize which is a very acclaimed prize and the best to win in the industry. This shows how important him and his work are and what a successful individual career he has had.
