The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) and the Canada Council for the Arts are proud to announce the recipients of the 2024 Governor General’s Medals in Architecture.
The biennial awards 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.
“This year’s recipients continue a long-standing tradition of design excellence, making a significant impact across all aspects of our lives. The awarded projects demonstrate exceptional careful consideration of people, place and purpose, and further contribute to the growing Canadian culture of design,” said Jason Robbins, FRAIC, president of the RAIC.
The 12 winning projects from across the country represent a variety of building types and sizes—from a residential home to a public library to a theatre.
