Since 1979, the Pritzker Architecture Prize has recognized 22 architects for their contributions to the art of architecture, from Philip Johnson in 1979 to Norman Foster in 1999.
But the Pritzker, accompanied by a glittery award dinner and a magazine-like publication devoted to the winner, retains enough cachet to be regarded as the Nobel Prize of architecture.
The Pritzker's purpose is to "honor a living architect whose built work demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision and commitment, which produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture."

 A Daily Dose of Architecture: Pritzker Countdown
According to the Pritzker Prize web page, the 2005 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate will be announced tomorrow morning.
Looking at the past winners (below), the prize tends to single out individuals (omitting Robert Venturi's wife and partner and only once giving the prize to two individuals, in 2001) that are male (again, omitting Robert Venturi's wife and partner and giving the first prize to a woman last year).
But the Pritzker Prizes tend to be a bit unpredictable - though last year's choice had a "p.c." smell to it - so it's anybody's guess who will win.
