The Prix de Rome is an award for architects from the Canada Council for the Arts

Contents

Established in 1987, the Prix de Rome is awarded to an architect or group of architects. Two annual awards are made: the Prix de Rome for professional architecture and the Prix de Rome in Architecture for Emerging Practitioners.

From 1987 to 2003 the award included a residency in a John Shnier-designed laureates' apartment in the Trastevere district of Rome. [1] :5 The professional award currently consists of a $50,000 cash award, and the Emerging Practitioner award a $34,000 cash award. [2]

Due to uncertainty about travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 prizes were postponed to 2021, when two winners were to be selected. [3] In 2022, two Professional awards were given, and three Emerging Practitioners were premiated.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Women in architecture</span> Overview of women architects

Women in architecture have been documented for many centuries, as professional practitioners, educators and clients. Since architecture became organized as a profession in 1857, the number of women in architecture has been low. At the end of the 19th century, starting in Finland, certain schools of architecture in Europe began to admit women to their programmes of study. In 1980 M. Rosaria Piomelli, born in Italy, became the first woman to hold a deanship of any school of architecture in the United States, as Dean of the City College of New York School of Architecture. In recent years, women have begun to achieve wider recognition within the profession, however, the percentage receiving awards for their work remains low. As of 2023, 11.5% of Pritzker Prize Laureates have been female.
