Over the years, architect Ralph Erskine has received several of the world’s principal distinctions and prizes for his architecture. He has amalgamated the proceeds into a fund, the Ralph Erskine Nordic Stipend Fund administered by the Swedish Association of Architects.
The Ralph Erskine Award was established by the Fund in 1988 and amounts to 10.000 USD. According to the charter of the Fund the Award is to be conferred upon an individual, group or organization for innovation in architecture and urban design with regard to social, ecological and aesthetic aspects. The efforts of the applicant are to have benefitted primarily the less privileged in society.
