We have rounded up some of the reactions to this afternoon's news that Denise Scott Brown would not retroactively receive recognition for the Pritzker Prize that her husband, Robert Venturi, won in 1991.

The Pritzker denies a public effort to recognize Denise Scott Brown. She tells me what she thinks of the decision. http://t.co/mNTCtk4wFO

We all are. Not the point. "@HawthorneLAT: "Let us assure you, however, that Ms. Scott Brown remains eligible for the Pritzker Award.""

There is one woman and SEVEN MEN on the Pritzker Jury. They communicated: 'wait your turn, DSB.' http://t.co/eupArexpGC

Weak response from Pritzker re D Scott Brown; they don't need to "second guess," they need to credit accurately http://t.co/GczfVzEHOY

Depressing enough for Pritzker to rebuff petition for Denise, but the Lordly patriarchal guff is truly awful http://t.co/pkuEYroK9C

@MIRcgem I agree they can't do anything retroactively. I also think she should have been given the #Pritzker in the first place.

LAME. DSB retroactive Pritzker shot down thanks to circumspect reasoning about past juries: http://t.co/pbm3e1v8b7

Just kick the Pritzker Prize to the curb. Since it translates into clientele and promotion, architects will denounce but not reject it.
