Pritzker prize-winning architects

Summary: Five very different architects, each endowed with his own unique creative vision: what could Philip Johnson, Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, Ricardo Legorreta, and Jacques Herzog possibly have in common? A passion for their profession, certainly - and the $100,000 Pritzker Prize, architecture's most prestigious honor. In this classic NewsHour program, these five Pritzker Laureates provide insights into the art of building design and construction.
