Founded in 1990, the Richard Morris Hunt Prize is awarded annually to architects specialized in historic preservation, alternating each year between French and American practitioners. An award of excellence, the Prize brings together a network of experts sharing the common mission to study questions relating to the co-habitation of historic and contemporary architecture. The Prize honors the memory of Richard Morris Hunt (1827-1895), the first American architect to graduate from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and founder of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
