The Pritzker Architecture Prize is awarded annually by the Hyatt Foundation to honor a living architect.
Created in 1979 by Jay A. Pritzker, and run by the Pritzker family, it is considered the world's premier architecture prize.
The winner receives $100,000, but more important is the industry-wide fame and subsequent interest from building developers. The Pritzker is sometimes referred to as "the Nobel of architecture".
