The Pritzker Prize is the premier award recognizing outstanding architects for their significant contributions to humanity through architecture. Initiated by Jay Pritzker through the Hyatt Foundation in 1979, it focuses on individual architects rather than firms, although co-winners are permitted. Over forty-four editions, the prize has awarded architects from 23 countries, revealing a notable global diversity, with half of the laureates being European and significant representation from the Americas, Asia, and Oceania. In 2022, Francis Kéré's win marked a milestone as the first African recipient. The prize has also included six female recipients, indicating slow but notable progress in gender representation.
The Pritzker Prize has been awarded for forty-four straight editions without interruption, showcasing consistent and significant contributions to architecture from diverse countries and cultures.
Six women have been awarded the Pritzker Prize, demonstrating a gradual change in gender representation within a historically male-dominated field.
