The Pritzker Architecture Prize, an international honor established in 1979, is often described as the Nobel Prize of architecture. It is awarded annually to an architect whose buildings reflect an extraordinary combination of talent, vision, and commitment to high-quality design and who has made significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture. Recipients include some of the worlds foremost architects, among them Philip Johnson, Richard Meier, Frank Gehry, Fumihiko Maki, Rafael Moneo, Renzo Piano, and this years honoree, Norman Foster. This exhibition of more than 100 drawings will feature a representative project by each architect, providing a survey of contemporary architecture around the world.

The Pritzker Architecture Prize 1979-1999 is organized by The Art Institute of Chicago and is made possible by The Hyatt Foundation.
