The Vincent Scully Prize, established in 1999, is named for the esteemed professor who inspired so many across the building disciplines. Scully was 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 profoundly influenced prominent architects, urban planners, and others.

The Prize recognizes excellence in practice, scholarship, or criticism in architecture, historic preservation, and urban design. The nomination and selection process for each year’s recipient resides within the Prize jury. The Museum participates in deliberations and may submit candidates, but it does not vote on finalists. Current jury members:

• Chair: Ellen Dunham-Jones, Professor, Director, Urban Design Program, Georgia Tech School of Architecture
• James Corner, FASLA, Founder and CEO, James Corner Field Operations
• Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Partner, DPZ/CoDesign
• Paul Goldberger, Architecture Critic, Contributing Editor, Vanity Fair
• Walter Hood, ASLA, Creative Director and Founder, Hood Design Studio
