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; more important is the industry-wide fame and subsequent interest from building developers. The Pritzker is sometimes referred to as "the Nobel Prize of Architecture".
