Architecture
edit(Section to be integrated in some articles) Concurrently, the recent movements of New Urbanism and New Classical Architecture promote a sustainable approach towards construction, that appreciates and develops smart growth, architectural tradition and classical design.[1][2] This in contrast to modernist and globally uniform architecture, as well as leaning against solitary housing estates and suburban sprawl.[3] The Driehaus Architecture Prize is an award that recognizes efforts in New Urbanism and New Classical Architecture, and is endowed with a prize money twice as high as that of the Pritzker Prize.[4]
