Vincent Scully Prize

The National Building Museum established the Vincent Scully Prize in 1999 to recognize exemplary practice, scholarship, or criticism in architecture, historic preservation, and urban design. It is named after Professor Vincent Scully, to honor his work and extend his legacy. Scully is the Sterling Professor Emeritus of the History of Art at Yale University and Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Miami. For more than four decades his teaching and scholarship have profoundly influenced prominent architects and urban planners.

"The Scully Prize is thus, in the larger order of things, infinitely more important than…other prominent design awards [because] it is not primarily about our individual work, but how we and our work makes us feel more at home in our communal settings, our built culture, the house as the city, and vice versa."
- Jacquelin T. Robertson, Cooper, Robertson & Partners

The current jury for the Scully Prize comprises Chairman David Schwarz, Robert Peck, Samina Quraeshi, and Deborah Berke.
