World Architecture Community readers finally tell us who should win the 2017 Pritzker Architecture Prize by choosing their favourite architect for this prestigious prize. They say ''this prestigious prize should go American architect Steven Holl this year.''

Two months ago, we asked our readers to select their favourite architect for this year's Pritzker Architecture Prize and we offered 11 potential international names, including female architects, tracking their strong architectural project history, plus, creating a memorable index for our readers-they were selected as the potential runners for this year's Architecture Oscar award.

The Pritzker Architecture Prize can be conceived as Nobel Prize of architecture and honors individual architect (s) who have a significant impact, knowledge and interest in advancing great architecture and humanity through the art of architecture. The annual honorific names are awarded with a $100,000 prize and a bronze medallion at a ceremony each year, organized and funded by the The Hyatt Foundation since 1979.

The prize is often accepted as ‘architecture’s highest honor’ for the architect either made a significant cultural shift in the built environment by being considered sociologically, mehodologically, politically or did a great innovation in material culture advancing architecture one step further.

The 2017 Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize will be announced on Wednesday, March 1, 2017.
