“I’m not sure this prize, or any other for that matter, is awarded to someone who has “probably worked as hard as” someone else who has won it. Isn’t it about talent and verifiable contribution?” – nicey
“What we are talking about here is a decades old award that she wasn’t included on. Sorry, that sucks. But get over it. She hasn’t been denied recognition. Shes’ got a front page article on cnn for 2 weeks in a row. Come off it.” – andrew houck

“Her name is on the door because her husband put it there! And you and I know what he got in exchange. Without him she would be just another architect like thousands and thousands others who don’t deserve the Pritzker.” – salvatore
