Denise Scott Brown & Robert Venturi Win 2016 AIA Gold Medal

摘要

At long last, Denise Scott Brown has been given her due. On December 2, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) announced Scott Brown and her husband and professional partner Robert Venturi as recipients of the 2016 AIA Gold Medal, the organization's highest honor. The announcement follows nearly three years of campaigning by some in the architecture community for a retroactive Pritzker Architecture Prize for Scott Brown alongside Venturi, who was awarded the prize solely in 1991. "There were a lot of people who were really passionate about them getting recognized as a team," said Caroline James, who was present for the announcement in Washington, D.C.
