Henry Hope Reed Award

Initiated in 2005, the global Henry Hope Reed Award or short Reed Award is given to an individual working outside the practice of architecture who has supported the cultivation of the traditional city, its architecture and art through writing, planning or promotion. It is awarded in conjunction with the Driehaus Architecture Prize at the Notre Dame School of Architecture. It is named in honor of architecture critic Henry Hope Reed Jr.

The award winner receives a bronze medal showing a bas relief cameo of Reed, surrounded by laurel. It was custom designed by P.E. Guerin, the oldest decorative hardware firm in the United States.

The prize was first presented on March 19 in 2005 at the University Club of Chicago, to Henry Hope Reed.
