The Pritzker Architecture Prize is considered as the Nobel Prize of architects. This award is given every year to an architect or an architectural team who have achieved important achievements in the field of architecture and design.
The purpose of the Pritzker Architecture Prize is to appreciate the art of architects who make a significant contribution to the improvement and development of humanity and the environment.
It is said that this award is given regardless of “nationality, race, belief or ideology”. Winners receive $100,000, a certificate and, since 1987, a bronze medal.
In 1979, Philip Johnson was the first person to win the Pritzker Prize, and in 2004, Zaha Hadid became the first woman to win the prize.
