Progressive Architecture Award


The Progressive Architecture Awards annually recognize risk-taking practitioners and seek to promote progress in the field of architecture.

History

In June 1920, Pencil Points magazine was founded. At some point it was renamed to New Pencil Points and then in 1945, renamed to Progressive Architecture. In 1996, the Progressive Architecture magazine name and subscriber list was sold to BPI Communications, by Penton Publishing.
The editors of Progressive Architecture magazine hosted the first Progressive Architecture Award jury in 1954, whose members were Victor Gruen, George Howe, Eero Saarinen, and Fred Severud. Progressive Architecture magazine ended the awards in 1987. In 1997, Hanley Wood, owner of Architecture magazine, restarted Progressive Architecture Awards. In 2007, Architecture folded, and the awards were inherited by the new publication Architect Magazine.
