Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara of Ireland's Grafton Architects are named the Pritzker Prize Laureates for 2020, architecture's highest honor.

Last month the pair were awarded theby the Royal Institute of British Architects. As with the Pritzker, they were the fourth and fifth female architects to win that prestigious award — and the first all-female team to do so.
