Established in 2003, the Richard H. Driehaus Prize honors, promotes and encourages architectural excellence that applies the principles of traditional, classical and sustainable architecture and urbanism in contemporary society and environments. It is presented annually by the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture to an outstanding architect in recognition of their work. In conjunction with the Driehaus Prize, the annual Henry Hope Reed Award is given to recognize the contributions of supporters of classical architecture operating beyond the drafting tables and outside the practice of architecture. 
This is the third webcast in the series called Building Communities. This particular show addresses how builders are incorporating the “Green” philosophy as well as the impacts on the housing world.

This is part of a partnership between ECU’s Department of Construction Management and the National Housing Endowment, the philanthropic arm of the National Association of Home Builders.
