The international prize, which is awarded each year to a living architect for lifetime achievement, was established by the Pritzker family of Chicago through their Hyatt Foundation in 1979. Often referred to as “architecture’s Nobel” and “the profession’s highest honor,” the Pritzker Prize has been awarded to seven Americans, and (including this year) eighteen architects from twelve other countries. The presentation ceremonies move around the world from year to year paying homage to the architecture of other eras and/or works by laureates of the prize.
