The American Academy of Arts and Letters announced the 2020 Architecture Award winners today. The Academy’s annual architecture awards program began in 1955 with the inauguration of the Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize and has since expanded to include four Arts and Letters Awards. This year’s winners were chosen from a group of 34 individuals and practices nominated by the members of the Academy. The jurors were Annabelle Selldorf (chair), Peter Eisenman, Steven Holl, James Polshek, Billie Tsien, and Tod Williams. Nader Tehrani was selected as the recipient of the 2020 Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize, an award which is given “to an architect of any nationality who has made a significant contribution to architecture as an art.” Congratulations Nader!
