He constantly pursued academic achievements, thus entering a new academic hall, working at the Southern California Institute of Architecture and Technology in Los Angeles and serving as the President of the University of California, Los Angeles, Harvey Pelov. From 1999 to 2003, he served as the Research Director of Architecture, Industrial Design, Product Design, Fashion, and Stage Design at the Vienna University of Applied Arts. Since October 2003, Prix has become the Vice President and Director of the Department of Architecture at the Vienna University of Applied Arts.

From 2000 to 2006, he was also a member of the board of directors of Austrian universities. In May 2009, Dr. Heinz Fischer, the President of the Austrian Federation, awarded him the Austrian Science and Art Medal in recognition of his highly innovative work. In his speech, he explored the relationship between architecture and contemporary politics in a very interesting way. Because both disciplines have a direct impact on personal and public life, building this bridge of connection is not farfetched.
