The National Building Museum has established the Vincent Scully Prize in honor of the influential teacher and critic of architecture. The annual $25,000 prize will be awarded for “exemplary practice, scholarship, or criticism in architecture, landscape design, historic preservation, planning, or urban design.” The inaugural prize was awarded to Vincent Scully himself at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on November 12. Scully was recognized for his teaching at Yale University and the University of Miami and for his role in spurring the debate about traditional town planning, preservation, and the value of vernacular architecture.
