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 one of the world's premier architecture prizes. The prize is meant to take into account architecture of good quality being built around the world. Thus the winner competes with other good architects on an international level.

Part of the criteria in this prize is the innovative quality and finess of architectural thought given to accomplish such architectural work. Contributions to the integration of good use of construction technology is also a factor.

The winner receives US$100,000, but 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". A complete list of winners:
