The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) and the Canada Council for the Arts recently revealed the recipients of the 2024 Governor General’s Medals in Architecture.
The objective of the Governor General’s Medals in Architecture is to recognize and celebrate outstanding design in recently completed built projects of any size, type and geographical location by Canadian architects.
The competition continues a tradition initiated by the Massey Medals in 1950, providing an important source of understanding of the nature of Canadian architecture and the regional, cultural, and historic forces expressed in the built environment. Outstanding design considers exemplary approaches to sustainability, and the support and advancement of equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Governor General’s Medals in Architecture are offered every two years and the next call for submissions will take place in the Fall of 2025.
