The Driehaus Prize is awarded to an architect whose work embodies the principles of traditional and classical architecture in contemporary society.
University of Notre Dame alumnus and renowned architect John Burgee, FAIA, '56, received the 2004 Orlando T. Maione Award for distinguished contributions to the School of Architecture. Burgee was honored on June 10 at the Notre Dame alumni reception at this year's AIA Convention in Chicago.
In 1968, Burgee and architect Philip Johnson established Johnson/Burgee Architects in Manhattan. Their critically-acclaimed projects include Atlanta's IBM Tower, Pittsburgh's PPG Industries Corporate Headquarters, New York City's AT&T Corporate Headquarters and Houston's Pennzoil Place. Burgee also designed the Clarke Memorial Fountain on the Notre Dame campus.
An AIA fellow since 1976, Burgee's honors also include the Reynolds Prize in Architecture. He received an honorary degree from Notre Dame in 1983. Burgee served on the University's Board of Trustees from 1988 until April when he was named trustee emeritus. He also has served on the School of Architecture's Advisory Council since 1982.
"I am greatly honored that the School's faculty named me the 2004 recipient of the Orlando T. Maione Award," Burgee says. "I am please to be associated with a School that shows such a high level of professionalism."
