Robert A.M. Stern Wins Driehaus Prize for Classical Architecture

Back around this time in 2007 was the last time we reported on who had won the Driehaus Prize for Classical Architecture (when it was taken home by Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk). Since then, of course, there have been annual winners, but unfortunately the prize, as the Chicago Tribune‘s Blair Kamin puts it, “has garnered relatively little media attention since it was established in 2003.” Perhaps it’s because fewer people find classical architecture as exciting and sometimes disarming as the modern variety is.
