The Progressive Architecture Awards (P/A Awards) annually recognise risk-taking practitioners and seek to promote progress in the field of architecture.

History

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.[1] Progressive Architecture magazine ended the awards in 1987.[1]

In 1997, Hanley Wood, owner of Architecture magazine, restarted Progressive Architecture Awards.[2] In 2007, Architecture folded, and the awards were inherited by a new publication, titled ARCHITECT.[3]
