Local, regional and national traditions provide the opportunity for communities to retain their individuality with the advance of globalisation. Through tradition we can preserve our sense of identity and counteract social alienation. People must have the freedom to maintain their traditions. Traditional buildings and places maintain a balance with nature and society that has been developed over many generations.

Driehaus Prize Laureate James S. Ackerman posthumously presented the Henry Hope Reed Award Robert Adam, an architect known for his scholarship as well as his practice, has been named the recipient of the 2017 Richard H. Driehaus Prize at the University of Notre Dame. Adam, the 15th Driehaus Prize laureate, will be awarded the $200,000 prize and a bronze miniature of the Choregic Monument of Lysikrates during a ceremony on March 25 (Saturday) in Chicago. In conjunction with the Driehaus Prize, the $50,000 Henry Hope Reed Award, given annually to an individual working outside the practice of architecture who has supported the cultivation of the traditional city, its architecture and art, will be presented posthumously to architectural historian James S. Ackerman. Additionally, on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Driehaus Prize, the jury has elected to honor the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) with a special award for contributions to the public realm. “Throughout his career, Robert Adam has engaged the critical issues of our time, challenging contemporary attitudes toward architecture and urban design. He has written extensively on the tensions between globalism and regionalism as we shape our built environment,” said Michael Lykoudis, Driehaus Prize jury chair and Francis and Kathleen Rooney Dean of Notre Dame’s School of Architecture. “Sustainability is at the foundation of his work, achieved through urbanism and architecture that is respectful of local climate, culture and building customs.” Adam received his architectural education at Westminster University and was a Rome Scholar in 1972–73.

  • Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Mark Rakatansky How Serlio Haunts Us Still: Wittkower's
    Mark Rakatansky How Serlio Haunts Us Still: Wittkower’s Paradoxical Parallax In regard to Serlio there will always be more questions than answers. Did Serlio give license to licentious rule-breaking in architecture or did he seek to normalize and contain its codes and coordinates? Did he seek to promote the Extraordinary — as stated in the title of his Extraordinario libro di architettura — or rather restrict and codify it into the now conventional and widespread all too Ordinary as a regularizing ordination? Did his professed intention to ac- commodate French comfort with Italian décor result not in their recombinative mixture but rather in a one variation after another of prescriptive and proscriptive commodified simulations of decorum, in other words, a catalogue of fixed social rankings of “proper” comportment? Is it he, and not Palladio, who is principally responsible for initiating the process by which certain intricate Cinquecento modes and motifs became, in Rudolf Wittkower’s phrase, “legalized and aca- demically petrified?”1 Wittkower used that phrase in his essay “Pseudo-Palladian Elements in English Neo-Classical Architecture,” wherein he tracks the developments of two Cinquecento motifs in later centuries: the “Palladian” window and the combinative tectonic figuration of quoins and voussoirs superimposed on frames of doorways and windows. Why does Wittkower refer to these elements as “Pseudo-Palladian?” First, because Palladio used the former motif only in a very limited number of instances, and the latter motif not at all. Second, because the neo-Palladians analyzed by Wittkower used the former motif in ways contrary to the ways Palladio utilized them.
