Primed For Pritzker

It may be the most coveted gong in architecture, but the Pritzker Architecture Prize has courted some controversy since its 1979 inception by Hyatt co-founder Jay A Pritzker and his wife Cindy. It wasn’t until 2004 that the prize bestowed the revered bronze medallion and US$100,000 on its first female winner, Zaha Hadid. It has also been criticised for failing to acknowledge collaborative works, with claims that architects Denise Scott Brown and Lu Wenyu’s contributions were overlooked when their spouses Robert Venturi and Wang Shu won in 1991 and 2012 respectively.
