'''The Pritzker Architecture Prize''' is the architecture's highest honor. The prize takes its name from the Pritzker family. ''Laureates of the Pritzker Architecture Prize receive a $100,000 grant, a formal citation certificate, and since 1987, a bronze medallion.'' [http://www.pritzkerprize.com/about/history.html]
<blockquote>
Jay A. Pritzker, (1922-1999), founded the prize with his wife, Cindy. His eldest son, Thomas J. Pritzker, the current president of The Hyatt Foundation, explains, “As native Chicagoans, it’s not surprising that our family was keenly aware of architecture, living in the birthplace of the skyscraper, a city filled with buildings designed by architectural legends such as Louis Sullivan, [[Frank Lloyd Wright]], [[Mies van der Rohe]], and many others.” [[Ibidem]]
</blockquote>
[[Jean Nouvel]] (b. 1945) is the 2008 Pritzker Architecture Prize laureate.
