Pencil Points was founded in June 1920 and changed to New Pencil Points then Progressive Architecture (P/A) in 1945. Winning a P/A Award was one of the most coveted honors in design during the 1950's and 1960's. During the 1990's, P/A set the standard for architectural journalism which tended to celebrate rather than critically evaluate buildings by star architects. P/A was sold to a competitor and closed in December of 1995. By that time, it won more publishing awards than any other US architectural journal. The P/A Awards program continued 1997-2006 by Architecture magazine and since 2007 by Architect magazine, owned by Hanley Wood.
