TheDriehaus Architecture Prize, fully namedThe Richard H. Driehaus Prize at the University of Notre Dame, is a global award to honor a major contributor in the field ofcontemporary traditional andclassical architecture.[2] The Driehaus Prize was conceived as an alternative to the predominantly modernistPritzker Prize.[3]
It was co-founded byfund manager and philanthropistRichard Driehaus and Dean of the University of Notre Dame School of ArchitectureMichael Lykoudis and was established in 2003 by theRichard H. Driehaus Charitable Lead Trust. It is presented annually through theSchool of Architecture at theUniversity of Notre Dame inIndiana, United States, which teaches a classical approach to architecture.
The jury also awards theHenry Hope Reed Award (given in conjunction with the Driehaus Prize) to an individual working outside the practice of architecture, who has supported the cultivation of the traditional city, its architecture and art through writing, planning or promotion.[4] The 2020 Reed Award was given to Clem Labine, the creator of thePalladio Award, which recognizes excellence in traditional design, and the eponymous Clem Labine Award for creating more humane and beautiful environments.[5]
The Driehaus Prize is awarded to a livingarchitect whose work embodies the principles of traditional and classical architecture andurbanism in contemporary society, and reflects what the jury considers positive cultural, environmental and artistic impacts. The award itself is a bronze miniature of theChoragic Monument of Lysicrates, known as the first use of theCorinthian order on the outside of a building.[6] The award includes a monetary prize of US$200,000.
The award jury annually selects an architect who has greatly influenced the field of traditional and classical architecture. The jury travels together to a city of architectural significance, exploring it together, and taking the city's urban fabric as a backdrop for its deliberations.[7]
Driehaus, the founder, chief investment officer and chairman of Driehaus Capital Management in Chicago, established the award program through Notre Dame in 2003 because of its reputation as a national leader in incorporating the ideals of traditional and classical architecture into the task of modern urban development. In 2007, Driehaus announced that he would increase the prize monies given out annually through the Driehaus Prize and the Reed Award to a combined $250,000. The two prizes represent the most significant recognition for classicism in the contemporary built environment.
