The Pritzker Prize, recognized as the highest award in the field of architecture, should be given to selected winners without any controversy. Laureates, that are not only recognized by juries, but also by architects in different countries, related professionals, and others, should be nominated. Therefore it is possible to say that nominated laureates represent architectural trends of the time. The purpose of this study, is largely divided into two. First is to understand the trends of architecture by analyzing the jury citation of each laureates. The second purpose is to easily analyze 38 jury citation by utilizing the natural language processing technology, and to present the possibility of applying this method to the field of architecture. This research has been carried out through the following process. Jury citation have been filtered and analyzed using the 'Stanford Parser’. Also previous studies have been reviewed to establish a suitable research method. Then, main contents of the citation, which can be divided into 9 categories, have been derived and reviewed to understand the trends of architecture. Change in architectural trends have been analyzed based on the categories of expression characteristics and architectural ideas, trends of times, inhabitant, surrounding environment, materials, technologies, light, space and function, and morphological specifics. This research has significance not only in terms of understanding value trends but also in terms of utilizing natural language processing technology, an unfamiliar tool in the field of architecture.
