In a joint announcement, the Mayor of Beijing, Guo Jinlong and the chairman of the Hyatt Foundation, Thomas K. Pritzker announced that the Pritzker Architecture Prize Ceremony will be held in Beijing, China on May 25, 2012.

This is the first time in the prize’s 32-year history that the ceremony will take place in China.

“We have held ceremonies in fourteen different countries, in venues ranging from the White House in Washington DC to Todai-ji Temple in Nara, Japan. The tradition of moving the event to world sites of architectural significance was established to emphasize that the prize is international, the laureates having been chosen from 16 different nations to date,” said Pritzker.

The Foundation has yet to disclose the recipient as well as what building the ceremony will be held in, but says it will most likely be a place of historical significance.

Established in 1979 by the Hyatt Foundation, The Pritzker Architecture Prize honors a living architect whose built work “demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision, and commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture,” according to Pritzker.

Former prize winner’s include Zaha Hadid, Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, Rem Koolhaas and Norman Foster.
