The [[National Building Museum]] promotes excellence in architecture, engineering, construction, planning, and design. In furtherance of that mission, the Museum instituted an annual '''Honor Award''' in 1986 to recognize individuals and organizations that have made important contributions to the U.S.'s building heritage. Recipients are selected from a wide variety of backgrounds to call attention to the many factors that determine the form and quality of the built world.<br>
Unlike the National Building Museum's other two awards, the [[Vincent Scully Prize]] and the [[Henry C. Turner Prize]], the Honor Award is not limited to individuals or organizations who solely operate in fields associated with the built environment, such as architecture, engineering, and construction technology. Past recipients include ex-First Lady [[Lady Bird Johnson]], who was honored in 1995 for her lifetime leadership in beautification and conservation campaigns,.<ref>Nadine{{Cite news |last=Brozan, "Chronicle," June|first=Nadine |date=1995-06-10, 1995.|title=CHRONICLE http|language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/06/10/style/chronicle-761196.html?src |access-date=pm2022-08-05 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> and, in 2001, [[Michael Eisner]] and [[The Walt Disney Company]], whowere sincehonored Eisner'sin Disney presidency2001 in 1984recognition hasof employedtheir commitment to architecture, commissioning postmodernist architects such as [[Michael Graves]], [[Robert A.M.

The National Building Museum also bestows two other major awards: the [[Vincent Scully Prize]] to recognize exemplary practice, scholarship, or criticism in architecture, historic preservation, and urban design and the [[Henry C. Turner Prize for Innovation in Construction Technology]].
