Paul Goldberger to Receive Vincent Scully Prize

Architecture critic Paul Goldberger is the winner of the fourteenth Vincent Scully Prize “for his lifetime work of encouraging thoughtful discourse and debate about the importance of design.” The award is presented annually by the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. Past winners include Jane Jacobs, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, Prince Charles, and Robert A.M. Stern. “A long time ago, Vincent Scully convinced an eager Yale undergraduate that architecture was not just about buildings, but about all of culture and community, and that writing about it could be a meaningful pursuit,” said Goldberger in a statement issued by the museum.
