Honor Award



The National Building Museum advances the quality of the built environment by educating people about its impact on their lives. In furtherance of that mission, the Museum instituted an Honor Award in 1986 to recognize individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to our nation’s building heritage. The Honor Award recipients are leaders who have defined our culture, developed our communities, and crafted our built environment. Individually, they have advanced our building arts and sciences. Collectively, their legacy is profound.

The Museum has selected the Urban Land Institute (ULI) as its 2012 Honor Awardee. The selection recognizes ULI’s 75 years of leadership in urban planning, land use, and development. The presentation will take place on March 15, 2012 at the Museum’s annual Honor Award gala.

 

The list of honorees of this highly prestigious award demonstrates the scope of achievements recognized and the stature of the awardees.
