The Pritzker Architecture Prize honors architects who demonstrate exceptional talent and use that talent to better the built environment and contribute to the overall improvement of humanity. Founded by Jay A. Pritzker and Cindy Pritzker, the award is funded by the Pritzker family and is often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of Architecture”. The Pritzker Architecture Prize is awarded annually and previous winners of the Pritzker awards are world-wide and have included both men and women. However, this year is special as Diébédo Francis Kéré is the first African and the first Black architect to win.
