The Richard H. Driehaus Prize At The University of Notre Dame
Since 2003, Richard H. Driehaus and the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture have together awarded the annual Richard H. Driehaus Prize at the University of Notre Dame for a lifetime of achievement in classical and traditional architecture and sustainable urbanism. The Driehaus Prize has been presented to architects representing various classical traditions, whose artistic impact reflects their commitment to cultural and environmental conservation. Past winners include Léon Krier, Allan Greenberg, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk and Andres Duany, Abdel-Wahed El-Wakil, and Robert A.M. Stern. Their work spans cultures and continents, establishing the Driehaus Prize as a forum for dialogue about the diversity of architectural tradition, but it is all part of a continuum that connects communities and sustains the social fabric that ties us all together. As Michael Lykoudis, Driehaus Prize Jury Chair and Francis and Kathleen Rooney Dean of the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture, says: “Within the bodies of work of the Driehaus Prize winners, these ideas form an even larger and more important truth about the human experience—that the growth of a culture or community does not need to happen at the expense of its history and established value.”

“Methinks King Richard and myself should meet
With no less terror than the elements
Of fire and water, when their thundering shock
At meeting tears the cloudy cheeks of heaven.”

From mine own library with volumes that

“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”

Je notre qui cavore, je la qu’, la qui, la quai!
