Four Highly Outstanding Awards in Architecture
Pritzker Architecture Prize
Founded in 1979 by the Pritzker family, and funded by their Hyatt Foundation, the Pritzker Architecture Prize aims to honor a living architect whose built work demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision and commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture.
Architecture MasterPrize
Established in 2016, the Architecture MasterPrize (AMP) was created to honor, celebrate and share the very best projects in the fields of architectural design, interior design, and landscape architecture. The AMP is open to submissions from all architects, across the world. Divided into two categories- professional and student winners, the AMP has very quickly established itself as the home for creative thinking and promoting new ideas.
